A former underground Pb-Au-Cu-Ag mine.
A gold mine located on 8 patented claims in the center S½ sec. 19, T4S, R29E, about 4½ miles SW of Morenci on private land. Started in 1885 and closed in 1895. Reopened in 1934. Owned by Mrs. Grace Morrison (1934-1956) and W.R. Brown of Arizona (1956).
Mineralization is a vein that strikes N.60ºE. and dips vertically. It occurs in diorite porphyry. Its width ranges up to 10 feet and averages about 3 feet (1 meter). Gangue consists of brecciated, coarse-textured, grayish quartz & sericitized porphyry, cemented by later generation of vuggy quartz. The diorite porphyry wallrock is somewhat sericitized, silicified and iron-stained.
Workings include a 300 foot deep vertical shaft with 470 feet of drifts & some small stopes on the 200 & 300 levels.
