A former small Ag-Pb-Cu-Zn-Mo-Fluorspar occurrence/mine located in the East-center sec. 11, T20S, R22E, ΒΌ mile S of Tombstone, on private land. One of Tombstone's first producers, from both the Empire and Toughnut shafts. Owned at times, or in part, by the Tombstone Mill & Mining Co., Tombstone Consolidated Mines Co., Bunker Hill Mines Co., and the Tombstone Development Co.

Mineralization is a replacement deposit with oxidized base metal sulfides and minor wulfenite in irregular pipes and bedded deposits in Cretaceous Bisbee Group limestone along a series of anticlinal rolls cut by the strong Empire Dike filled fault and 'northeast' fissures. The ore zone is 609.6 meters long. Alteration is recrystallized limestone and silicification.

Workings include underground openings comprised of shaft(s), of which the main shaft is 450 feet (ca. 137 m) deep. Workings total 1219.2 meters long and 152.4 meters deep. Over 10,000 tons of ore were produced in the late 1800s, but output was included with adjoining mines. Output statistics were included with the Toughnut and Empire, and Tombstone group.

CAUTION: The Empire Mine workings are deteriorated and VERY hazardous – DO NOT ATTEMPT ENTRY!
