Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 17 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 8 past producers, now closed, 5 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 3 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working; the old survey maps add 4 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Iron; Limestone, General.
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. Minnesota has no coal AML program; its underground mines are iron mines on the Mesabi Range.
