Other/historical names associated with this locality:

Cole Shaft; Cole No. 3

A former large output Cu-Ag-Bi occurrence/mine located in the S½NE¼ sec. 21, T23S, R24E, G&SRM, approximately 1.5 miles (2.41 km) WNW of Warren, on private land. One of the major Calumet and Arizona Company mines. Owned at times, or in part, by the Lake Superior & Pittsburg Development Co., Calumet & Arizona Mining Co., and the Phelps Dodge Corp.

Mineralization is partially oxidized copper ores in irregular replacement orebodies in relatively unaltered Cambrian Abrigo and Devonian Martin limestones along the Dallas fault zone and adjacent fracture zones.

Local structures include common pre-mineralization faulting and tilting. Main fault directions are N10W to N40E and S30W to N50W.

Workings include underground openings comprised of a deep shaft.

Production was probably several hundred thousand tons of ore; included in Calumet & Arizona and Phelps Dodge totals after 1915.
