This shaft is situated at the head of Cottonwood hollow, in the NE 1/4 of the NW. 1/4 of section 31, on the east slope of the hollow, near the hill-top; it was 140 feet deep. The ore body, consisting of white chert, broken though not greatly brecciated, lies about horizontally in a sheet 6 inches to 6 feet thick; between the fragments and blocks of chert are blende and galena associated with dolomite, calcite, chalcopyrite and iron pyrite. Over this body of solid ore are irregular, oblong openings of soft ore and mud, into which drifts are carried to heights of nearly 20 feet. At the end of the western drift the exposure is very high, and shows distinct horizontal stratification in the arrangement of the chert layers and of the intervening cavities. Bitumen is quite abundant here, interinixed with the dolomite matrix; some decomposed limestone was found in the ore chert.
