The silver mines of the Sullivan District did produce silver bullion both in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For the most part, rare silver minerals were fraudulently reported only from the Sullivan Silver Mine. Mines in the district approximately from north to south were: Portland-Sullivan Silver mine, Fanueil Hall Silver mine, Waukeag Silver mine, Sullivan Silver mine, Pine Tree Silver mine, Milton Silver Mine, Salem-Sullivan mine, Sullivan Falls Silver mine, Mill Brook Silver mine, Ashley mine, Beacon Hill mine. The Sullivan mine and Waukeag mine were united into the Sullivan-Waukeag mine. The Morancy mine is not part of the Sullivan District.
