Note

Note dump material right foreground. Actually there is considerable ore with an average of 35% Fe - 10% Mn lying in large chunks on this dump. Ore crops out in the floor of the site (x). This bedding vein is about 3'-4' thick and approximates the average percentage of the ore chunks on the dump. Present (1940) stripping operations exposed an old shaft in the floor of the cut at end of picture. Shaft reported 35' deep with ore at about 25.
