A former underground Ag-Cu-Pb-Au-Zn-Sb mine discovered on June 17, 1875, by Messrs. Edmund G. Peck, Bean, Alexander, Jewell & Cole. Owned by O. Tawney (circa 1926). Located in the NE¼ sec. 25, T.11N., R.1W. (Battle Flat 7.5 minute topo map). Produced 1875-1948. Claims extend into the SE¼SE¼NW¼, NE¼NE¼SW¼ and the NW¼NW¼SW¼ of sec. 25, E½SE¼ of sec. 24 and the W½W½SW¼ of sec. 19, T11N, R1E.
Mineralization is 3 veins, parallel and following the strike & dip of the schist; that is N.28ºE. & 75ºW. Ore is chlorides and carbonates. A porphyry dike 50 feet wide is said to have been cut between the Peck vein and Occident vein. Veins several feet thick in places. Ore consists mostly of dark brown quartzite partly replaced by limonite. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was extreme enrichment at near surface due to oxidation. Minor alteration was noted.
Country rock is quartzite, a lens in the Yavapai schist, with some amphibolite schist. Veins parallel foliation in Proterozoic rocks, which trends N20E to N30E.
Workings include a 400 foot deep shaft (1881) with 4 levels aggregating 1,300 feet of underground workings. A second shaft at 387 feet feet deep. A 10 stamp mill was erected on site. Production was some $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 in Ag (1875-1885)(period values).
