A former mine located 6.2 km (3.8 miles) SSW of the city of Salem in Franklin Township.
The mine is on the vast plateau dividing the waters of the Meramec from those of the Current river. This bank occupies the highest point on a rather flat, semi-circular hill which lies around a nearly circular depression, apparently filled with fine detritus of chert, sandstone and specular ore. The ore is in part pure, in part mixed with quartz. Some boulders are two or three feet in diameter.
Another smaller district, with rounded surface ore, is seen about six hundred feet to the northwest, and another in a small ravine to the south.
A shaft in the main bank was sunk to a depth of ten feet through red, sandy loam, with boulders of specular ore.
This property produced 22,354 tons of ore prior to 1892.
