Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 5 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 past producer, now closed, 4 prospects or occurrences that were never worked. The mineral the records name is Mica.
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.
