Dave here's one link to a forum that had a few photos of the mine, and neat story to go along with it

At the bottom of this page is the co-ordinates for the mine.

Now this one is a different mine, I think but called the Bluebird, and my guess is that we need more info, because like a lot of mines in different states, more than one may have the same name Here's this site
http://www.fourth-millennium.net/fl-minerals/dona-ana-mine.html
Now the main reason I posted this is not for the location, but for all other info contained here, interesting stuff, like the bluff mine in Castle Dome, Az. Who knew, there was florescent minerals there?
This is either good or a pain, the internet that is, I always get side tracked when looking for something!
Still looking.....
Here's one more, with a location:

Darn, Dave that was fun, thanks for the incentive to go looking, now I'm off tonight to Castle Dome and Hull Mine with my florescent light? Do you believe that, it's always something. Let me know if any of this helps?
Here's a lat & Lon for the one in Gila County Latitude: 33.87278 : Longitude: -111.22917
Here's the co-ordinates for the one in Cochise County

The Ghost Town article you reference is the one that got me going. A hoot.

Yep it got me going too, buddy, thanks for the inspiration to do some surfing. There's stuff there that should interest just about anyone, and the mine looked neat too. One night this week we want to go out to the Bluff mine near Castle Dome now and look for fluorescent minerals. Haven't done that in a long time, and we didn't know they could be found out there. You never know what you'll find in the desert.
