Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 6 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 4 sites producing when the record was made, 2 processing plants, which are not workings; the old survey maps add 9 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.

A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.
