Copper-camp ghost town on the south slope of the Dragoon Mountains, on the Ghost Town Trail with Courtland and Pearce. Peak early-1900s mining left foundations, a cemetery, and the restored 1910 concrete Gleeson Jail (museum). Public dirt roads reach the jail crossroads; scattered private residences remain — explore from the road and posted public points only.
