A former small surface and underground W-Pb-Ag mine located in East-central sec. 22, T.13S., R.26E., approximately 10 miles E of Willcox, on private land. Discovered 1944 and explored sporatically until 1956. Owned by the Tyrone Mining Co.
Mineralization is spotty scheelite with minor galena and oxidized iron and lead minerals in quartz veins and veinlets in Laramide granitic rock (diorite) Cowboy Pluton (59 MY). The ore zone strikes E and dips S. Some low grade tungsten placers. An associated rock unit is the Cowboy pluton.
Workings include open cuts, pits, short adits, and shallow shafts. A few tons or ore were mined in the 1950's.
