A former small underground Ag-Pb-Au mine located in the NE ¼ sec. 11, T.20S., R.22E., 1/10 mile south of Tombstone, on private land. Owned by the Tombstone Development Co.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit with oxidized argentiferous lead ores in Cretaceous Bisbee Group limestone associated with an anticlinal roll cut by 'northeast' fissures.
Local structures include the Tombstone Basin with beds tilted NNE after mineralization.
Workings include a shaft 300 feet deep (1881) and workings beneath Tombstone, between Fremont and Toughnut Streets. Workings within the Way Up claim are mainly on the 3rd level, probably 300 feet deep, and approximately 1000 feet in total workings length. Over 550 tons of ore were produced in the 1880s.
