MINE NAMES
While reading the papers published in Crystal City and in Marble in the 1880s and 1890s I came across many intriguing names and thought a list of them might give you a little enjoyment.
The more familiar names were:
The Lead King The Black Queen The Lucky Boy The Little Darling John Baroni Tunnel Sheep Mountain Tunnel Whopper Load The Inez Catalpa Copper King 20th Century Winchester El Negoero North Pole
These were very important to someone at sometime, yet did very little production:
Highland Mary Painter Boy Robert E. Lee Bell of Merino Silver Cord Grass Widow Golden Harvest Gray Copper Mountain King Bay State A. C. Richmond Forest Queene Jennie-R Belle of Titusville Small Hopes Judd No. 2 Pride of the West Bob-tail Silver Link New Years Gift Banker’s Daughter Black Girl Jim Blaine Smooth Eph Bullion King Mt.
