Deposit IN 1891 JOSEPH BRAY RELOCATED THE BRAY ANIMONY MINE AT THE SITE OF A PREVIOUS SILVER PROSPECT; DURING THE PERIOD 1891 TO 1898, HE SHIPPED A MODERATE TONNAGE OF HAND-SORTED, 50% ANTIMONY ORE TO SWANSEA, WALES, VIA SAN FRANCISCO. THE MINES WERE REOPENED DURING THE YEARS 1916-1918, AND SOME HAND-SORTED ORE WAS SHIPPED TO THE MAGNOLIA METAL CO. PRODUCTION FOR THE PERIOD 1935-1969 HAS BEEN SMALL AND ERRATIC. THE WORKINGS ARE NOW INACCESSIBLE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
