A former underground Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn mine located about 1,700 feet South of the Union Mine in the upper part of Chaparral Gulch, and about 1¾ miles SW of McCabe. Started 1867. Reopened 1909 and closed 1916. Owned by J.S. Jones & lessees (1890 to end of 1898); Chaparral Mining Co. (1909-1916); and, the Arizona Consolidated Mining Co. (1935). Closed 1942.

Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. No alteration was reported.

Area structures include veins that tend to parallel foliation in Precambrian country rocks, which trends N25E.

Workings include a 659 foot deep shaft (1922). Output was consolidated with that of the Union Mine at one time. Produced $750,000 up to 1903 (period values). Ore assayed ½ to 1 oz. Au/T.
