This mine, located half a mile northeast of Mingo, is situated on the south face of a hill along the side of which primary limonite outcrops over an area of about seven acres. The mine consists of an open cut 50 feet in diameter exposing a good deposit of ore of which 103 tons were mined and shipped during 1909.
The ore is both massive and cellular and is highly silicious, due to the presence of sand and fragments of chert. That shipped gave returns of 42.91% iron, 19.73% silica, 0.217% Phos., 1.44% Mn. and 3.0% moisture.
