A former underghround Cu-Zn-Au-Ag-Pb mine located near Mayer. Reopened in 1943 and ultimately closed in 1945. Owned by George A. Tredwell Co. (circa 1905-1909); Liberty Hills Mines Co., lessees, L.E. Hesla & Fred Gibbs, owners (1943-1945); Commercial Mining Co.; Phelps Dodge Corp.
Mineralization is a thin, tabular deposit ranging from 10 inches to several feet wide. Schist of sedimentary origin and appears as siliceous, brownish hornfels weathering to light colored sericitic schist. Some of the schist is chloritic and amphibolitic. The strike is N.20ºE. and the dip is steep to the East. The mine is developed to the 500 foot level.
