This mine is located half a mile east of Idlewild, and adjacent to the St. Louis and San Francisco R'y. Developments consist of two open cuts, one of which is situated near the crest of a hill and the other at its foot 300 yards north of the first. The upper cut, which is 30 feet long, 15 feet wide, and 6 feet deep, discloses cellular, primary limonite containing some goethite and considerable decomposed chert. The lower cut, which is 25 feet wide and 40 feet long, encountered similar ore. These developments were made during 1908 at which time four cars of ore are reported to have been shipped.
The surface indications of ore at this place consist of a few scattered boulders of limonite.
