This equipment is located in the Swisshelm mountains a few hours SE of Tucson. Lots of old mines around these parts.
Did some reseach this morning and it looks like they mined Lead, Silver, and Gold.

Phil, I love your photos! Coming across the remnants of the past like this add to the allure of the land. Hunting, trapping, fishing, hiking are all about more than what most uninitiated folks will ever comprehend.

Thanks for the post.
