This mine was examined by Mr. Robertson, and, as described by him, is located near the center of the SE. 1/4 of the NW. 1/4 of section 6, township 25 N., 30 W., in what are designated on the small map the Crabtree diggings. It was opened early in 1891, and was producing a large quantity of fine-grade ore in that year. The shaft was 50 feet deep, and penetrated broken flint and clay for nearly the whole distance. The ore was mainly blende, of a yellowish brown color and of fine quality. Some "silicate" was also found here. The ore body was a rudely lenticular shaped mass, whose width was not over 50 feet, the height 10 feet, so far as the developments had proceeded. Very little work had been done at the time of inspection. Besides blende, a little calamine was found in fine crystalline masses, often coated with greenockite. Calcite crystals coated with the same substance also occurred. The blende carried considerable cadmium.
The country rock is composed of limestone and chert interstratified, with more or less of the limestone dissolved and removed. That which does remain is often converted into dolomite in the vicinity of the ore, fine-grained, hard, compact, and locally termed "sand rock,” although good crystals of dolomite frequently occur.
