A Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au-Mo mine located in the center & SE ΒΌ sec. 30, T.20S., R.14E. Owned at times, or in part, by Sheehy; Santa Cruz Silver-Lead Co.; Sunrise Mining Co.; Arivaca Mining Corp.; and the Colorado Fuel & Iron Steel Corp.
Mineralization is sulfides and quartz deposited in permeable zones at the intersection of a bedding plane fault and favorable beds in Permian Naco Group limestone. Extensive solution of the limestone and deep oxidation concentrated secondary minerals in the leached caverns as sand carbonate ore.
Workings include shaft and adit operations. Worked at various times from about 1911 through 1972. The group produced some 29,260 tons of ore averaging about 22% Pb, 9% Zn, 7 oz. Ag/T, 0.3% Cu, and minor Au.
