     History
    The mine operated between 1903 and 1920 and was a marvel of its day. Unlike its name, the mine did not produce Silver. Mica, feldspar and apatite were produced by miners who bashed, chipped and chiselled the minerals from the rock.
    In addition to pit mining, the Silver Queen also has a number of tunnel mines. Some up to 60 feet deep and dug by hand.
