The Goodwin mine, Eagle-Picher Lead Company, is located on a fifty- acre lease forming the NE. ¼ NE. ¼ sec. 17, T, 29 N., R. 23 E. This mine was opened in 1917 and the production from 1917 to 1928 was 71,016 tons of zinc concentrates valued at $3,294,202 and 5,536 tons of lead concentrates valued at $542,651.
The ore is mined at three levels, approximately 190 feet, 215 feet below the surface at the shaft. The ore from the upper level is mainly in white flint and some jasperoid, much fractured in places, not “bouldery” but containing a few small cavities. The stopes in the upper level are generally from fifty to one hundred feet wide.
The ore-body in the middle level at 215 feet, is characterized by much white flint and also much jasperoid but is relatively “tight” as in the upper level. The stopes at the middle level range from fifteen to twenty-five feet in height and from fifty to 150 feet in width.
The ore-body at the lowest, 260-foot level, is characterized by much jasperoid, in a broken “bouldery” formation and is richer in mineral than at the upper levels. Cavities are abundant and many small caves lined with “tiff” and ore mineral have been opened. The stopes in the lower level are generally from twenty to thirty feet high and from fifty to 200 feet wide.
The ore runs at the three levels maintain an approximate horizontal ex- tension and the wide stopes extend over much of the eastern half of the lease. The roof and floor of the stopes at the two upper levels are united in places. The lower run of ore, however, is distinctly separated from the overlying middle run by fifteen to thirty feet of barren rock.
The shale is quite uniformly between sixty and eighty feet thick. The thickness of the Mayes formation can not be definitely determined but is probably between twenty and forty feet.
