A small former underground Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au mine located in the NE ¼ sec. 18, T.18S., R.17E., and adjoins the Verde Queen property on the west, 9 miles SSW of Pantano, at an elevation of about 4,900 feet. Owned at times, or in part, by Hilton; and, Tong.
Mineralization is the Jerome vein or lode with lead, zinc, and minor copper carbonates with calcite, quartz and jarosite in irregular replacement orebodies along the faulted contact of Permian limestone and quartzite close to Laramide intrusive dikes. Here the vein is about 40 feet (12.19 meters) wide and is a contact deposit in hanging-wall limestone with quartzite forming the footwall, striking E-W, and dipping 70N. Alteration includes massive sulfide gossan. The outcrop is about 10 feet long.
Workings include a 65 foot deep shaft with a crosscut on the bottom. Worked intermittently from the early 1900's to the 1930's. Produced some 250 tons of ore averaging about 30% Pb, 11% Zn, 0.6% Cu, 6 oz. Ag/T and minor gold.
