A group of 2 former underground Pb-Zn-Cu-Au-Mo-Ag mines located about ¾ mile south of the Grand Reef Mine and 2.7 miles NNE of Klondyke. Owned by American Zinc, Lead, and Smelting Co., of St. Louis, Missouri. Also known as / designated: Calistoga Mining and Development Co. property.
Mineralization is the Dog Water lode and the Silver Cable lode, smaller branchs of the Grand Reef lode on its southern end. (See the Grand Reef Mine description). A tabular ore body is hosted in Pinal Schist. Associated rock units are the Horse Mountain volcanics; Goodwin Canyon Quartz Monzonite; and possibly Santa Teresa Granite. Ore control was silicified fault breccia. Ore concentration was supergene enrichment. Alteration was silicification in fault breccia, strong alteration to white clay minerals. Wulfenite occurs in veins up to 1 inch thick.
Area structures include block faulting trending NNW. Regional trends: minor Pre-Cretaceous E- and NE-trending folds. The Waterfall Canyon Fault offsetting the Grand Reef Fault.
The workings include the Dogwater adit about 140 feet long, with a small stope to the surface and a short winze. The Silver Cable adit is a few hundred feet long with stopes and is located 250 feet NNE of the Dogwater adit. Reported as producing ore in 1938. Production was 160 tons of concentrates. The only known production is part of a 117 ton shipment of which part came from the Granf Reef and Aravaipa Mines.
