A small former underground Pb-Zn-Ag-Au-Cu (Bi-Sb-Sn) mine located in North-central sec. 4, T3N, R20W (protracted), 5 miles SW of Quartzsite, on federal land. Owned by the Arizona Leadville Mines Co.
Mineralization is lensing bands of disseminated and high grade bodies of anglesite and galena along shattered, iron stained quartz stringers and in schist planes, with calcite and siderite, in a shear zone cutting Mesozoic schistose rhyolite.
Workings include an inclined shaft. Worked in 1947-1948. Worked in 1947 to 1948 by the Arizona Leadville Mines Co. Produced some 360 tons of ore averaging about 17% Pb, 0.7% Zn, 0.5 oz. Ag/T, 0.06 oz. Au/T, and minor copper.
