Low-grade bauxite, containing small pockets of high-grade ore, and a cap of a few feet of chimney rock are exposed in the walls of the Cannon, or Toomsboro mine. The mining pit occupies about 3 acres about 1 1/4 miles north of Toomsboro, on the east side of Salters Branch and north of the prospect pit at locality 15. This mine was operated by the General Bauxite Co., and about 15,000 long tons of bauxite seem to have been removed. Some low-grade bauxite may have been left in the floor of the pit. The mine and two prospects are on a terrace which seems to be a very favorable place to prospect for further ore.
