A former underground Pb-Ag-Zn-Cu-Au mine located on 6 patented claims, in the center (NW¼SE¼) of sec. 12, T.21S., R.14E., in Apache Gulch between the Alto Mine on the south and the Wandering Jew Mine on the north, on National Forest land. Discovered about 1899. Owned at times, or in part, by the Santa Rita Mining Co. (circa 1900-1915); Henderson; and, Figueroa.
Mineralization is a quartz-fissure vein, containing largely oxidized sulfides, in Cretaceous rhyodacite underlain by Jurassic granite.
Reportedly developed to a depth of 470 feet by tunnels, shafts, and crosscuts aggregating more than 2,500 feet of work. Worked intermittently sine the late 1800's with a total production of some 500 tons of ore averaging about 14% Pb, 29 oz. Ag/T, 2% Cu, and minor Au.
