A former underground Pb-Ag-Au-Cu-Zn mine located on 3 claims east of the Crown King mill. Owned by the Silver Crown Mining Co. Discovered 1885. Produced 1880-1964. Claims staked in 1968 extended into secs. 5-7 and sec. 12 and 13, T11N, R4W. NOTE: Alternate coordinates provided: 34.2083N, 112.4056W.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with lens-shaped ore body(ies) that strikes NNE and appears to be an extension of the Oro Belle line of lodes in the Tiger District. Ore control was faulting and igneous activity. Ore concentration was oxidation and enrichment at near surface. Alteration was minor.
Area structures include foliation in Proterozoic rocks that trends N40E to N50E. Veins parallel foliation or crosscut it at a slight angle.
Workings include a 950 foot long tunnel.
