The Phelps and Eversol or Eaton Mines. These mines are situated about half a mile southeast of those last described (Nathalie Mining Company - Gumbo Mine), and are both considered by Prof. Shepard as on the same crevices. They were not open for examination at the time of the writer's visit, and, hence, we can only include the following brief description extracted from Prof. Shepard's notes:
The Eversol shaft was sunk 40 ft. through calcareous shale, the lower 9 ft. consisting of the blue "gumbo,” containing blende and galena disseminated through it. Under this, 8 ft. of sandstone and chert were dug through. Very little calcite or other accessory minerals are found in these mines.
