This property is located five miles northeast of Jackson and one mile from the Cape Girardeau and Chester R'y. The outcrop, which is situated near the head of a small ravine, consists of a few boulders of primary limonite scattered over an area of one acre. Developments consist of a small open cut ten feet deep the face of which exposes thin beds of soft, impure tripoli containing nodules of hard chert. This material is veined with a silicious limonite which replaces the tripoli. The surface boulders average one foot or more in diameter and break with a rough, splintery fracture. They are brown in color, often containing thin veins of goethite and decomposed chert fragments. Some of them have a roughly laminated structure. No ore has been shipped.
