A former small underground Au-Ag-Silica occurrence/mine located in South-central sec. 11 and North-central sec. 14, T15S, R23E.
Mineralization is relatively weak gold and silver values in a mineralized quartz vein in fault breccia cutting the Cretaceous Bisbee Formation (shale, siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate).
Workings include underground openings comprised of a shaft (the topo map reflects 1 shaft, 2 adit and about 5 prospect pit symbols labeled "mines" at the end of an unimproved road at this point).
Production data: Some 75 tons of ore/smelter flux were produced during the period 1930-1932.
