A former small underground Ag-Mn-Au-Pb-V-Zn mine located in the NW ΒΌ sec. 14, T.20S., R.22E, 1 mile S of Tombstone, on private land. Discovered by A.E. Sheiffelin, February, 1878 (one of the original Tombstone mines). Owned at times, or in part, by the Tombstone Gold and Silver Mining Co. (1881); the Tombstone Mill & Mining Co., Tombstone Consolidated Mines Co., Bunker Hill Mines Co., and the Tombstone Development Co.

Mineralization is irregular, extensively oxidized, tabular to chimney-like orebodies, mostly manganiferous silver, in altered Pennsylvanian-Permian Naco Group and Cretaceous Bisbee Group limestones and shales; as veins in the Lucky Cuss fault zone; along 'northeast' fissure zones; and as replacements along bedding plane faults in the limestones close to the fissure zones. Ore is also veins in the Lucky Cuss fault zone. The ore zone is 243.84 meters long, strikes NNE to NNW, and dips 70-75E (strike and dip is orientation of the Lucky Cuss Fault. An associated rock unit is the Schieffelin Granodiorite.

Local structures include northerly faulting in the Tombstone Basin; the Lucky Cuss Fault Zone.

Workings include a shaft at 300 feet deep (1881) and more than 500 feet of drifts and crosscuts. Stopes located in the Lucky Cuss Fault zone and in massive limestone. Workings total 1828.8 meters in length and 198.12 meters deep. This is one of the original Tombstone District mines. At least 100,000 tons of ore were produced since the 1880's. Production is included under the Tombstone group.
