Report: These mines were screened out because they were coal deposits. Johnson and others (1993) briefly describe the deposit as consisting of two to three ft seams. The workings were mined intermittently from 1889-1890. The Bowers was a 175 ft inclined shaft (at 40 degrees to 60 degrees). The Jones mine was not described except for the fact that it produced coal for local use.
