This shaft is situated a few hundred feet northeast of the center of section 11, township 20 N., 29 W. At the time of inspection it was 95 ft. deep. The lower 30 ft. consisted of brecciated white chert, with traces of a stratified arrangement preserved, cemented by a black secondary chert and a little blende, the whole constituting a very hard mass. A few small pockets of tallow clay occur, however, though not in sufficient abundance to make the ground open. Of mineralogical interest is the occurrence of crystalized quartz. Most of the blende is found near the top and bottom of this ore-bearing breccia. Over this, is 40 ft. of solid, white and dark chert, in wavy layers, containing some blende.
