A W occurrence/group of claims located in sec. 20, T20S, R7E, in Schaffer Canyon on the east side of the Baboquivari Mountains, 7 miles W of Sasabe Highway. Discovered by G.T. Harford and C.H. Bent in 1939.
Mineralization is a vein deposit 0.46 meters wide and dipping 10-20W. The vein consists of dull white quartz.
The steep sides of Schaffer Canyon consist of a faulted complex of siliceous sedimentary beds and volcanic rocks, intruded by dikes of acidic to intermediate composition.
Workings are a few shallow cuts. Inquiries by Dale et al in 1961 indicated that little, if any, production was made in the claims in recent years.
