Could not find a web site that includes this site.
A tourist information building is within 100 yards (south) and I was in there. They knew nothing about it. No curiosity anymore, I guess.

Mine Type: Abandoned Mine

Mineral Collecting: Not Known

KNOWN DANGERS:
Do not enter, as interior structures are very shaky. And careful of snakes. I saw 5 in the short time I walked around the site. 4 were poisonous (rattlers).

Any Other information:
This is on the north side of town. Go into Willcox, and find "old town", (along railroad tracks) There is statue of Rex Allen and his theater, and much more. Interesting old history.
