This is briefly referred to by Broadhead as located on Upper Maries creek, in township 89 N., 10 W., and as opened in 1874. Nothing has been done there during recent years. According to Mr. C. W. Crisman of Tavern postoffice, the ore was found in a vertical crevice with lenticular openings; its course was about N.-S. or perhaps somewhat W. of N. It was worked at intervals for half a mile, some 30 or 40 pits being dug; the deepest shaft was 40 ft. The filling of the crevice consisted of barite and clay. The deposit was discovered before the war, and was worked at different times since. During the latter years of work, it is reported that fully $2000 worth of lead ore was taken out from the "old" shaft. In addition, large amounts were mined from other openings up to 1830.
