A former small surface Mn-Cu-Baryte mine located in the west of center of the SW ¼ sec. 30, T.23S., R.25E. (Bisbee NE 7.5 minute topo map), on the south slope (WSW) of Gold Hill, approximately 1½ miles SE of Warren, and 5 miles SE of Bisbee, on private land. Owned by the Houghton Development Co.
Mineralization is small, irregular replacement masses of psilomelane with iron oxides, barite, calcite, and copper staining along a fissure zone in Pennsylvanian-Permian Naco group limestone, in the vicinity of a NW-SE fissure.
Workings are surface openings. About 50 tons of manganese oxide were produced in 1918 (1 carload). "So much sorting was necessary to obtain ore of shipping grade that work was abandoned."
