A former underground Pb-Cu-Ag-Au-Mn-Fluorspar-Baryte mine located in secs. 28 & 29, T4S, R19E, 7 miles NW of Aravaipa. This property includes 125 unpatented claims. Claims extend into secs. 21, 28 & 29.

Mineralization is an irregular ore body 2.13 meters wide, striking N50W and dipping 30SW. Numerous small occurrences of baryte with lesser fluorite, commonly along bedding planes in limestone. Ore control was generally within one bed of limestone. An associated rock unit is quartz monzonite.

Workings are 731.52 meters long and 224.03 meters deep. Ore averaged 5.4% Cu.
