Discussion
NO GALENA OR SPHALERITE WERE REPORTED.
THE EXPOSED VEIN STRIKES N 45-50 E AND IS NEARLY VERTICAL.
A LINEAR SERIES OF SHALLOW WORKINGS. THE PROSPECT IS ON THE ROSICLARE-HILLSIDE VEIN SYSTEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL OPEN PITS AND A SHALLOW SHAFT. THE SHAFT EXPOSES 4 FT OF VEIN MATERIAL CONSISTIN OF NARROW VEINLETS OF FLOURITE IN IRON-STAINED CLAYEY MATERIAL.
BOTH VEIN AND GRAVEL SPAR FLUORITE WERE PRESENT.
Production: 1904 to 1942
