A former small surface and underground Pb-Cu-Ag-W-Zn mine located in the East-central portion of sec. 36, T.17S., R.31E, about 1 mile SE of Portal, AZ. Operators included Mr. J.L. Schad (1953).
Mineralization is spotty galena and minor chalcopyrite, largely altered to lead and copper carbonates, along a contact zone between Permian Colina Limestone and an intrusive porphyry. The intrusive rock was not mapped by Cooper, so it is probably a small stock or plug.
Workings consist of a shaft and surface workings. Production was 100 or more tons of Pb-Cu-Ag ore produced in the late 1800's and about 100 tons of tungsten ore produced in 1945.
