A former underground Pb-Ag-Cu-Au-Zn mine located on 13 unpatented claims, in the SΒ½ (center SEΒΌSEΒΌ) sec. 34, T4S, R16E (Christmas 7.5 minute topo map), 1.4 miles SW of Lee Mountain. Claims extend into secs. 35 & 36, and into secs. 1-4 and 9, T5S, R16E. Discovered by N.H. Mellor of Winkelman, AZ. The Adjust Mining Co. produced 1920-1939. Additional names which apply to this property: Gold Gulch Mine; Big Treasure Mine; Hope Metals Mine; and Patented claims MS 2179, 2180, 2182.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body hosted in andesite. The ore zone is 457.2 meters long and 3.66 meters wide, strikes N76E and dips vertically. Ore control was NE-trending veins. Alteration is vein minerals replacing andesite. Local structures include NE-trending quartz-mica diorite dikes. The Blue Bird vein is completely oxidized from the surface to about 50 feet in depth. The average width is 4 feet. An associated rock unit is diorite. Related in style and age of mineralization to the Christmas Mine, 3 miles NW in Gila County.
Workings are the principal developments on the Blue Bird veins. Exploration by ASARCO on this property in 1967.
