310 THE IRON ORE DISTRICT OF EAST TEXAS. 



one third (the western) part. The line is very irregular here, and crosses 

 into the Elizabeth Grace league, of which it covers an area of about one 

 square mile in the southwestern corner. The line then passes north and 

 northwest through the J. Hendry, F. D. Hanks, and P. 0. Lumpkins tracts 

 to its most northern point, on the Jno. Chase survey. From here it passes 

 south through the Lumpkin tract and the eastern edge of the Geo. Andnng 

 league to its southeast corner, where it turns east through the Levi Hopkins, 

 Danl. Parker, Jno. Wright, and S. A. Mays tracts to place of beginning. Its 

 area is nearly fifteen square miles. The ore is similar to that of the other 

 localities mentioned.

Lying to the northeast of this are found two areas forming divides on the 

 waters of Walnut Creek. One of these is on the James Hall survey, the 

 other on the Adolph D Latlin. The two together may aggregate one square 

 mile.* 



Six miles east we find another series of hills in the neighborhood of Kick- 

 apoo. The largest of these has probably an area of three to three and one- 

 half square miles, lying principally m the Jose Peneda grant, but covering 

 also the southern portion of the Jose Chireno. 



South of Kickapoo, on the W. F. Pool survey, is a large hill capped with 

 laminated ore. Northeast of that town are two others on the Goss survey 

 and one on the Timmons, and three miles east another hill is found, also on 

 the Goss survey. 



Just north of Nechesville are two small hills containing excellent ore. 

 (Analysis 3, Laminated Ores.) With the exception of a few areas too small 

 to be of economic value these are all the localities at which high grade ores 

 exist north of the railway. South of the railway two areas of similar ore are 

 mapped. These are, however, not very extensive. One of them is on the 

 W. S. DcDonald tract, the other on the H. Anglin. 



There is, however, good ore on the high divide between Still's and Ionie 

 creeks. It has a length of thirteen miles and an average width of a mile
