A former, small, underground Mo-Pb-V-Au-Cu-W-Ag mine / claim located in the SW¼ sec. 27, T3S, R14E (Sonora 7.5 minute topo map), just W of Tiger Moutain and about 2¾ miles NNE of Riverside (½ mile SW of troy site and ¼ mile NE of the Buckeye Mine), on private land.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit in lenticular bunches. Ore control was along bedding planes in limestone, and as inclusions in diabase. Host rock is Mescal Limestone and Dripping Spring Quartzite of the Apache Group. Rhyodacite dikes may be related to the mineralization. Vein dips steeply N80°E.
Mineralization includes secondary copper minerals.
Workings include a shaft that was apparently 150 feet deep with 3 levels.
