This mine is about a mile north of the last (Lee's diggings), in the NW 1/4 of the NW. 1/4 of section 12. Little or no work has been done here during recent years. In 1854, Dr. Litton found it operated by shafts about 80 ft. deep. The ore occurred in an irregular series of caves, ranning in a general E.-W. direction. These were from 4 to 9 ft high, from 4 to 12 ft. wide, and were connected by narrower openings. They were sometimes partially filled with clay and loose rock and ore, and often massive galena was found in large quantities adhering to the sides and tops of the caves. A line of disturbance and faulting, which we have already referred to (p. 355), is described by J. V. Philips (169) as running immediately north of this and adjacent mines, and was believed by him to have some connection with the deposits. The mine is referred to by Christy, in 1845, as in an irregularly formed crevice, containing galena and calcite in large masses, mixed with clay and sand. Broadhead observed the following order in the deposition of the minerals here: 1) botryoidal quartz, 2) iron pyrite, 3) blende, 4) barite, 5) calcite.
