Discussion

The Wisconsin Zinc Company drilled 20 holes on the Magoon property, two miles northwest of Scales Mound. Three widely scattered holes encountered 8 to 10 feet of top-run or middle-run ore 40 to 60 feet above the Oilrock. Several records show the thin Oilrock which is usually found with the lower-run deposits. No attempt was made to follow the top-run ore (.WILLMAN, H.B., REYNOLDS, R.R., AND HERBERT, PAUL, JR., 1946).
