Escapule Mine
A former small surface and underground Ag-Mn mine located in the South-central sec. 14, T.20S. R.22E, approximately 1.5 miles (2.41 km) S of Tombstone, on private land. Discovered 1950. Owned by Escapule.
Mineralization is a replacement deposit with spotty, argentiferous manganese bodies along fissure veins in Mississippian Escabrosa Limestone. A manganese mineralization phase followed the main mineralization phase in the district.
Local structures include the Ajax Hill Horst, south of the Prompter Fault. Escabrosa beds strike N-S and dip 25-30E.
Workings are shallow. Some silver ore was produced in the 1880s and about 50 tons of manganese ore in the 1950s.
