A former Pb occurrence/mine.
At the Cove mine, a vertical fissure was encountered about 6 inches wide, running N 5° E., with a steep dip to the east. This was sometimes entirely filled with galena; elsewhere it contained barite and calcite, and sometimes clay replaced these. The main shaft in 1854 was 180 ft. deep, and four others were sunk 30 to 60 1t apart; these were all connected by levels, and the vein was thus opened for a distance of about 400 ft. The upper portion of the hill here is composed of sandstone, and the crevice was found to follow up into this and to continue ore-bearing. No evidence of faulting is reported here.
