These are located in section 30, township 41 N., 1 E. As examined by the writer in 1892, a number of pits were seen following a course N. 12° W. (mag), up and down the hills. At one point, in a small ravine between two hills, a vein was exposed in the bed of a branch. This was about 4 inches thick, following the above course. It consisted of barite, containing galena in scattered crystals. The crevice traversed magnesian limestone without faulting. In the country rocks, joint-planes were observed following the same course. Diggings along this same belt are reported to extend through sections 19 and 31, thus covering a distance of a mile and a half or more. A company operated this deposit during 1865 and succeeding years, and about 125 tons of ore were taken out. The shafts were sunk to depths of about 75 ft.; at the bottom, the vein of galena was about 4 inches thick.
