This mine is in the SE. 1/4 of the NE, 1/4 of section 25, township 25 N., 29 W., on the top of a bluff about 150 feet high, overlooking Shoal creek. A deposit of calamine, intermingled with much broken original chert, and all cemented together by a light grey compact secondary chert was seen. Ten or fifteen tons of the silicate had been blasted out and laid on the dump at the time of inspection; no work was then in progress here.
In the NW. 1/4, SW 1/4 section 24, township 25 N, 29 W., the same parties were engaged in opening a promising prospect. The deposit lay on the side of a hill, in the Lower Carboniferous limestone, here carrying considerable chert. The ore was entirely blende, of a light yellow color, and good quality. It occurred in broken chert, the whole being cemented together by a dark chocolate-colored secondary chert, very hard and tough, having the appearance of a mosaic. The mine was opened by means of a shaft about 30 feet deep. The heavily bedded chert was not noticed, the walls of the shaft being composed mainly of the light-colored, brittle chert of the Burlington limestone. Since visiting this locality, it is reported that a drift of 40 feet has been run into the hill and from the end of that a winze 30 ft. in depth has been sank, and that the appearances are favorable. Up to the end of 1898, Mr. Marriot reports the output of this mine as 50 tons of zinc ore.
