This mine is situated about a quarter of a mile northwest of the last (Evans Mine), in the N. 1/2 of the SW. 1/4 of the same section. The mine was opened in the bluff on the south side of the river. Swallow described the deposit, in his report of 1854, as a perpendicular vein, varying from 2 to 10 inches in thickness, striking N.-S., and with a slight inclination to the east. The gangue of this vein was barite, calcite and red clay, in which the lead ore occurred chiefly as galena, but occasionally as cerussite. The magnesian limestone, which constitutes the base of the hill here, is capped with sandstone, and the vein cuts through both the limestone and sandstone, as it does at the Evans mine also. Swallow expressed the belief that the two mines are on the same vein.
