A former underground Pb-Zn-Fluorspar mine located in the center of the SE¼ sec. 36, T4S, R19W, on the southern end of the Buckeye vein, on the Kofa Game Range.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with a linear ore body that strikes S25E and dips 70W. Visible rocks on this claim consist of steeply westward-dipping shale cut by large dikes of diorite porphyry. Tectonic influences include block faulting.
Workings include 4 old shafts and an adit. The shafts were reported to be from 180 to 225 feet (68.58 meters) deep.
