A former surface and underground Cu-Au-Ag-Mo-Pb-V-Fluorspar mine located about 3 miles (5 km) SSW of Payson. Discovered by Al Sieber, William Moore and St. John in 1875. Produced 1916-1936.
Mineralization is a vein of considerable width with a linear shaped ore body hosted in Payson Diorite. Ore control was the curving fissure (Oxbow-shaped fault fissure) zone, NE-trending dikes, intrusions and faulting.
Area structures include Tertiary sediments approximately 1 mile south of the mine.
