A Cu deposit and an underground past producer located in the NE¼SE¼ sec. 24, T1N, R15E, about 1¼ miles N of Globe, on land of mixed status, included private (patented) property.
A set of several prominent northeastward-striking faults crop out SW of Buckeye Mountain.
The area is a large one and is underlain mainly by Troy quartzite and intruded bodies of diabase. Most of these faults are mineralized to some extent and have been explored by many open pits, adits, and shallow shafts. The most extensive exploration in this area has been along the Dime and Stonewall faults.
The Dime and Stonewall faults form a continuous outcrop that has a general strike of N65E from Copper Gulch on the west to McCormick Wash on the east, a distance of 1¼ miles; but despite their apparent continuity, it is doubtful that they are the same fault or that they were formed at the same time. The Dime fault dips vertical to 55SE, whereas the Stonewall dips vertical to 55NW. The Stonewall fault may be the eastward continuation of a fissure striking NE to east, known as the Arizona vein, whose outcrop joins the outcrop of the two faults just west of the Stonewall mine.
