The Gladiator Mine was a silver and gold mine located in Yavapai county, Arizona at an elevation of 7,021 feet. Years of production were from 1917 to 1951. Other names for the mine included the War Eagle and the Rattlesnake Shaft.
The mine was first located in early 1890's; first recorded production was in 1917. Past operators included E. M. Moore, of Davis, California, dba Gladiator Mining Co., (1951).
The diggings.com website (https://thediggings.com/mines/16317) provided the following description: “The Gladiator Gold Mine was located in close proximity to Cleator, Arizona, within the Tiger Mining District, which now falls under the jurisdiction of the Prescott National Forest. This area has a rich historical association with mining activities, with the site of the mine being initially discovered in 1892. The Gladiator Gold Mine operates as an underground mining operation, with production commencing in 1917. The overall output from the mine has been relatively small. The mine primarily consists of underground workings, with a single known shaft. The maximum subsurface depth reaches 216 meters (710 feet), extending over a length of 1,372 meters (4,500 feet). The ore extracted from the Gladiator Gold Mine predominantly consists of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite. The waste material generated during the mining process mainly comprises calcite and quartz. The ore body at this location is described as tabular, with dimensions of approximately 457 meters (1,500 feet) in length, 213 meters (700 feet) in width, and 1 meter (4 feet) in thickness. The mineralization found in the Gladiator Gold Mine dates back to the Paleocene epoch, around 66.00 to 56.00 million years ago. Geomorphologically, the surrounding area is characterized by the Mexican Highland of the Intermontane Plateaus.”
