A former small underground Pb-Cu-Ag-Zn-Mo-Sb-Fluorspar mine located on 8 claims in the NE ΒΌ sec. 29 (9 ?), T.17S., R.16E., on the west slope of Beuhman Hill, ΒΎ mile west of the Cuprite Mine and 7 miles NE of Helvetia. Owned at times, or in part, by McMahon; and, the New York Copper Co. of Tucson.

Mineralization is partly oxidized lead, copper and zinc sulfides with quartz, calcite, fluorite, pyrite and manganese and iron oxides in irregular lenses in a shear zone in pyrometamorphosed Paleozoic limestone along the contact with Laramide quartz monzonite intrusive. The shear zone is 30 to 70 feet and trends N10-25W and dips 40W and to the north trends N50-80W and dips 45-60N. Alteration includes partial oxidation; silicated garnetiferous limestone and the strongly altered shear zone. The ore zone is 60.96 meters wide, strikes NNW and dips 75SW.

The country rock is principally silicated garnetiferous limestone, freely intruded by fine-grained, dark diorite and granite porphyry.

The mine is on a north-northwest mineralized contact and shear zone about 200 feet wide between the intrusive diorite and limestone, and near by is a large granite porphyry dike with which it is thought to be genetically connected. The zone locally contains much calcite, epidotized quartz, manganese, iron oxide, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and some copper carbonates, some bodies of which range from 2 to 4% Cu.

On the slope between the new and old tunnels occur boulders of mixed coarsely crystalline calcite quartz and green fluorite containing some antimony, all derived from the ledge above.

Workings include 2 tunnels and 2 shafts comprised within a vertical range of 500 feet (152.4 meters). The newest tunnel being driven (circa 1915) to crosscut the ledge ia at an elevation of about 3,850 and extends N.75ΒΊE. for 210 feet. Worked from the 1890's and produced sporadically in the early 1900's. Some 50 to 100 tons of ore were produced, averaging about 6% Pb, 2-4% Cu, and 20 Ag/t.
