They are situated in the NE. 1/4 of section 26, township 49 N, 19 W., on Black fork of Lamine creek. The deposit was described by Swallow in 1864, but at that time little work had been done. A shaft 26 ft. deep had been sunk, and a drift was run thence about 31 ft. northeast, in the direction of the lode. The ore, consisting of galena associated with barite, occorred in "Burlington” limestone. Schmidt states in 1874 that a new shaft 25 to 30 ft. deep had been sunk, and seams of barite were found running between and across the limestone strata. The limestone beds here alternate with thick layers of fossiliferous chert. A large amount of barite was found about these diggings, and a mill was erected a few years ago for grinding it; little work was done, however.
