This mine is located in the NE. 1/4 of the SW. 1/4 of (section 20, 41 N., 1 W.). It is described by Swallow as being abont 80 ft. above the valley. The ore occurred in "horizontal" lodes or layers between veins of limestone. The galena was found in fine, large crystals, associated with calcite imbedded in red clay; a thin sheet of iron ore rested on top of the clay, beneath the roof rock. Adjacent to this opening, the limestone was decomposed and granular, and was called sandstone. Several tons of galena were mined here in 1859 and 1860.
