This well is said to have been put down to a depth of 1,500 feet, but nothing is known of the results obtained. In 1906...
Seite 128 - Much of the ore is siliceous, silica occuring principally as embedded chert and sometimes in the form of sand; but the percentage of siliceous material varies largely, portions of the ore being almost free from it, while the amount in other portions runs very high. The ore occurs in both the cellular and compact forms. Relatively little pot ore was seen, and most of it being of the solid chunk variety. Some limonite cemented sandstone was observed.

Three others have been sunk on a narrow part of the spur, northwest of this outcrop, near the main ridge. These are shallow, and show chiefly waterworn gravel and angular chert. "The ore is a light to dark-brown limonite and frequently contains some fine sand and small, irregular flakes of decomposed chert, but, on the whole, seems free of excessive siliceous impurities. It is...
