A former small underground Pb-Cu-Ag-Au occurrence/mine located in the SE¼ sec. 32, T20S, R22E, G&SRM, approximately 5 miles SW of Tombstone. Produced 1924. Operated by H.W. Asselgren.
Mineralization is oxidized base metal sulfides in a fracture zone cutting Cretaceous Bisbee Formation sedimentary beds.
Local structures include the Bisbee Group, which, in the area strikes N-S and dips 10W. It has a more uniform dip near the Arlington Mine than in the main part of the Tombstone District.
Workings include underground openings, including (a) shaft(s).
About 110 tons of ore were produced in 1924.
