| Deposit | A.B. Wilson (15-Jul-2008) edited this record and combined info from record 10257226 before deleting it. The only mention of this mine in published literature seems to be in a table on p. 473 of Vanderwilt. All information other than the name, section/twn/rng, and copper comes from unpublished sources or the State Mine Inspectors report. None of this has been verified. |
