A Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au-Mo mine located in the center & SE ¼ sec. 30, T.20S., R.14E., 5 miles east of the Chaves station on the Tucson-Nogales line of the Southern Pacific RR and 10 miles from the Pioneer smelter. Owned at times, or in part, by Messrs. Sheehy and O'Donnell, of Tucson; Santa Cruz Silver-Lead Co.; Sunrise Mining Co.; Arivaca Mining Corp.; and the Colorado Fuel & Iron Steel Corp.
Mineralization is sulfides and quartz deposited in permeable zones at the intersection of a bedding plane fault and favorable beds in Permian Naco Group limestone. Extensive solution of the limestone and deep oxidation concentrated secondary minerals in the leached caverns as sand carbonate ore.
The vein or lode is reportedly 20 feet wide, and the mineralized zone in which it occurs is said to extend throughout the length of several claims.
Workings include shaft and adit operations, and the mine is opened to the 100 level. Worked at various times from about 1911 through 1972. The group produced some 29,260 tons of ore averaging about 22% Pb, 9% Zn, 7 oz. Ag/T, 0.3% Cu, and minor Au.
