This is one of a number of pits in this neighborhood which are worked for barlte, the amount of galena present being comparatively insignificant. It is about a mile east of Hickory Hill, in section 11. When visited, in April, 1893, there was a large open cut in the side of a hill in decomposed magnesian limestone and residuary dolomitic and quartzose sands and clayey shales; these were seen to be traversed by sheets and short gash veins of barite, generally immediately surrounded by a red tallow clay, though sometimes this was absent. These sheets lay more frequently parallel to the stratification, but they were also inclined at all angles, forming often a perfect network in the walls of the cut, somewhat as is shown in figure 254. Some galena is found in the barite. At the bottom of the pit is solid limestone.
