| Structure: | Northwest-Trending Fractures Are Numerous Where The Southern Deposit Is Exposed By Mine Workings. As A Result Of Water Solution Along The Fractures, And Of Slumping Of The Blocks Bounded By The Fractures, Vertical Openings As Much As 2 Feet Wide Exist Throughout Much Of The Deposit. As A Result, The Ground Is Very Heavy - The Limestone Above And Below The Ore Zone Caves Readily. |
