The Fox River Valley mine, five miles north of Galena on the Feehan farm, was operated before 1905. Two shafts 65 and 95 feet deep were sunk on an east-west crevice. It appears that only a little lead and zinc ore was taken from this top-run deposit. The ore was found about 175 feet above the [[ilstrat:7750 Oilrock]]. There are no records of drilling in the immediate vicinity of the mine. | The Fox River Valley mine, five miles north of Galena on the Feehan farm, was operated before 1905.
