These are in the NE. 1/4 of this section 29, and were visited by Mr. Robertson in 1891. Several shafts had been sunk, one to a depth of 40 ft. The ore is mainly blende, and occurs in a crevice in the limestone, which is partially filled with a soft bluish shale. This shale is shot fall of dark-colored "pebble-jack” or rudimentary blende crystals. No galena was noticed. The country rock is a hard, compact, earthy magnesian limestone. In some smaller prospects nearby there were several diminutive pockets of barite in which small seams of lead were observed. These pockets seem to follow a general course of N 10 E.
