InAugust, 1917, work on reopening the shaft was commenced. The Good Hope ECONOMIC GEOLOGY 297 shaft was originally sunk on the vein to a depth of 503 feet and in 1913 ithad a drift development on 6 levels totalling 5,500 feet. The fluorspar takenfrom the mine was of high grade. The ore bodies were short but of goodwidth, as wide as 25 feet in places. Figure 27 shows the vein relationshipsand stratigraphy at the Good Hope mine. Unconsolidated surface materials. Fig. 28.—Idealized geologic section through the Annex shaft. The Fairview Company in 1909 opened up an old shaft on the same veinabout 1,700 feet north of the Good Hope shaft, and extended it to 300 ceased in 1914, however, most of the fluorspar having beenremoved. In 1911 work was begun on the Annex and Extension mines, 1,700 feetsouth of the Good Hope shaft. As stated earlier, this may be on the same 298 GEOLOGY OF HARDIN COUNTY vein as the Good Hope, or it may be on a branch of the main Good Hope-Bosiclare vein. The Annex shaft (fig. 28) is now 340 feet deep and theExtension 440 feet. The mine is in operation. Blue Diggings mine.—The Fairview Fluorspar and Lead Company be-gan operations on this mine in 1910.
