A former underground Cu-Pb-Ag-Au mine located in the NE¼SW¼ sec. 31, T1S, R16E, 3 miles NE of the Pioneer Pass Campground, 4 miles NE of Pinal Peak, on National Forest land. Produced 1931-1942. Former operators included: the Charles Mining Company; Charles B. Baufman; and Rivera and Smith. Production ceased when Baufman entered the armed services.
Mineralization is hosted in Precambrian Pinal Schist. The ore zone is 1.22 meters wide. Ore control was veins in granite near the schist contact.
There is no detailed geologic map of the area, but adjoining USGS map (Bull. 1141-H) shows large areas of Madera Diorite and a series of NE-trending Schultze Granite dikes. The Madera Diorite and dikes are characteristic of the district and have been verified in the field by S.B. Keith in the mine area.
Workings include a 140 foot inclined shaft with 115 feet of drifting at 80 feet, 65 feet of drifting at 100 feet, and 20 feet of drifting at 125 feet.
