and a half, giving an area of say nineteen square miles. The ore on this is 

 of a good quality, but it is not as thick nor as continuous as the beds north 

 of the railroad. The boundary of this bed, beginning in the western part of 

 W. Frost league, passes in a direction northeast by east through the northern 

 portions of the P. Martin, R. Erwin, and Geo. Clewis surveys, crosses the Fien 

 Roberts, G. Killion, W. C. Carter, W. Foreman, and S. Yarborough tracts to 

 the T. Pate survey, where it has its eastern point. From here it returns to 

 the place of beginning by a line passing west through the Yarborough league, 

 the "Webb and Bennett surveys, and thence southwest through the W. E. 

 Huddlestone, Neville, Killion, Webb, Thos. Hill, J. E. Palmer, Jno. Swear - 

 ingen, J. W. Humy, T. H. Hamilton, J. H. G-illespie, and Wm. Frost surveys.

 Ores.) 



In addition to the areas described there are several others which, on ac- 

 count of the thinness and siliceous 'character of the ore, are not of as great 

 economic importance. One of the largest of these areas is of rectangular 

 shape and lies between the greater high grade ore areas at the head of Mount 

 Prairie Creek and those of Walnut Creek, and forming the divide between 

 these creeks. It embraces parts of four surveys, the Elizabeth Grace, James 

 Hall, J. B. McNealy, and John Little. Two other similar areas occur be- 

 tween the first two high grade areas described and the third, lying east and 

 west of Beaver Postoffice respectively. 



On the Stephen Crist survey, south of Palestine, there is another area of 

 this siliceous ore, covering more than a square mile; and just south of lone 

 Creek are two other hills capped with similar ore. The most westerly of 

 these covers parts of the Wm. R. Wilson, A. Killough, J. Gibson, C. Grigsby, 

 and Jose M. Mora surveys, and the other, beginning in the southeastern por- 

 tion of the Mora survey, covers parts of the Kennedy, Jno. Blair, C. xldams, 

 R. Walker, B. H. Adams, and W. W. Pharr tracts. It is hardly probable 

 that these ores, if they can be called such, will be utilized at present. (An-
