A mine located in Cottonwood Canyon. Owned by Mr. John Allen of Vance, Arizona.
The vein is about 3½ feet wide, dips steeply to the SW and has from 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) of gouge on the hanging wall. It is in diorite capped by andesite and is associated with two intrusive rocks corresponding to granite porphyry and lamprophyre. The vein cionsists principally of crushed country rock diorite and quartz and carries some ore. The ore minerals occur in lenses, stringers, and irregular bodies associated with the quartz and they impregnate and replace the diorite in the vein.
Workings include a 350 foot long tunnel and 60 or 70 feet of drifts, with 200 feet or more of backs.
