Comments on the workings information

  • 5 OR 6 OPENINGS IN 1892: ONE 29 FOOT DEEP SHAFT NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE CLAIM ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GULCH. A TEN FOOT SHAFT EXISTED ON THE WEST SIDE. 200 FOOT NORTH OF THE FIRST SHAFT WAS AN OPEN CUT, AND ANOTHER OPEN CUT WAS NOTED EAST OF THE SHAFT. AN OPEN CUT 300 FEET NORTH OF THE MAIN SHAFT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GULCH NEAR THE TOP OF THE HILL, AND IS 30 FEET LONG, 10 WIDE & 15 DEEP.

Deposit THE 20 FOOT SHAFT IS IN CLAY WITH RESIDUAL BOULDERS CONTAINING ZINC AND WITH HEMIMORPHITE ON THEIR EXTERIORS; AND SOME TALLOW CLAY WAS TAKEN FROM THE SHAFT. HEMIMORPHITE HAD ALSO FILLED CRYSTAL SOLUTION CAVITIES.
Deposit PLEASE NOTE: BESIDES 14 OTHER MINES IN THE SUGAR ORCHARD AREA, RECORDS COULD BE FORMED FOR: 13 IN THE NEWTON COUNTY AREA, 8 IN LITTLE BUFFALO AREA, GRANBY LEAD MINES, 5 IN THE MT. HERSHEY AREA, 6 IN THE ST. JOE AREA, 3 IN THE YELLVILLE AREA, 17 IN THE RUSH CREEK AREA, 3 IN WARNER'S CREEK AREA, 12 IN THE NORTH BAXTER COUNTY AREA, AND 8 IN THE LAWRENCE AND SHARP COUNTY AREA. NO DOUBT MANY ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS AND MINES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED SINCE 1900, SO THIS NUMBER OF SITES IS THE MINIMUM ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
