A former Cu-Ag-Zn-Pb-Bi occurrence/mine located in the NW¼ sec. 36, T21S, T3E, NMM, 1.8 km (1.1 miles) NNE of Organ (hamlet) and 22.7 km (14.1 miles) NE of Las Cruces (at the foot of the San Augustin Mountains; just outside the US Army White Sands Proving Grounds), on patented (private) land. The property is comprised of 1 claim. Discovered prior to 1882. Owned by the Torpedo Mining Company, New Mexico (1935). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is hosted in the Lead Camp Limestone. The ore body is tabular. Associated rocks include the Sugarloaf Peak Quartz Monzonite. Local rocks include quartz monzonites, intermediate intrusives, and other intermediate felsic dikes and plugs and/or Pennsylvanian rocks, undivided.
Local geologic structures include the Torpedo-Bennett Fault Zone.
Workings include underground openings comprised of open cuts, shafts and drifts to 200 feet. The Roos shaft was sunk in 1927-1929. A mill/smelter capacity was small (1984).
Production data are found in: Seager, W.R. (1981).
Production information: Cu, Zn, and Ag produced $200,000 to $400,000 (period values). Bi was mined but not produced.
