A former underground Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Mn mine located East of Hackberry Wash about ¼ mile from Dewey Road. Owned by Southwestern Gold Mining Corp. Produced 1931-1941. NOTE: Alternate coordinates provided: 34.555N, 112.3547W.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body that dips steeply eastward, rather pockety and a maximum of 3 feet wide. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was fault gouge. An associated rock unit is the informally named Cherry Quartz Diorite, which is unfoliated.
Workings include a 100 foot deep shaft and a newer shaft at 118 feet deep.
