This mine is located 10 miles northeast of Steelville and is situated low on the point of a secondary spur. The pit is typical of the filled sink deposits. It consists of a cone-shaped opening about 300 feet long, 200 feet wide, and 50 feet deep, from which 150,000 tons of ore are reported to have been taken. It has long been abandoned as worked out but is still of some economic importance from the fact that the ore is reported to have bottomed on iron sulphide, the thickness of which has been variously estimated at from 13 to 100 feet.
