They are located almost in the channel of Saline creek, in the SW 1/4 of section 19, township 49 N., 19 W. Operations were in progress here in 1891, when visited by the writer, but no regalar deposit was exposed, only a little galena associated with barite, scattered irregularly through the Lower Carboniferous limestone, being seen. As reported by Schmidt, one shaft followed a crevice filled with loose masses of barite and galena; at 15 ft. an opening containing considerable quantities of ore was struck. A furnace was built, and it is stated that some $3000 worth of lead was mined, also a large amount of white, pure barite.
