A former small underground Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Au mine located in East-central (NE¼) sec. 3, T.24S., R.16E, W of Washington Gulch, on National Forest land. Discovered 1875 and produced until 1925. Owned at times, or in part, by the Duquesne Mining & Reduction Co.; Perkins & Medina; and, Francisco & Medina. Not labeled as the Annie on the topo, but the only adit symbol in section 3. There are several mines in section 3.
Mineralization is small, irregular lenses of partly oxidized sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite in a pyrometasomatic deposit in faulted and folded Permian Naco Group limestone. Strong garnetization.
Mineral deposits of the Washington-Duquesne area occupy a limestone-sediment belt (2.5 miles long by 1.25 miles wide) surrounded by igneous rocks which also form detached masses and dikes within the belt.
Workings included shaft operations. This mine was operated for oxide ore in the late 1800's, and for sulfide ore in the early 1900's. It produced some 500 tons of ore averaging about 5% Zn, 3% Pb, 0.5% Cu, 5 oz. Ag/T and a trace of gold.
