A shaft of the Fairview Mine. Per F. Brett Denny, W.J. Nelson, E. Munson, J.A. Devera, and D.H. Amos (2011), Bedrock Geology of Rosiclare Quadrangle
Hardin County, Illinois: "The Fairview mine was operated by the Fairview Fluorspar and Lead Company. In 1862 this company sunk the Good Hope Shaft to a depth of 503 feet and worked the property until 1874 (Weller et al., 1920). From 1890 to 1895 this mine was leased by the owners of the Rosiclare Mine. More production occurred from 1905 to 1913 until the original Good Hope Shaft began to cave. The Good Hope Shaft was worked on at least 6 levels and the vein was reported to be 25 feet wide(Weller et al., 1920). In 1909 the Fairview Company re-opened an old shaft 1700 feet north of the Good Hope shaft and in 1911 the Annex and Extension Shafts were sunk (Weller et al., 1920). Mining ceased in these mines in about 1924 due to flooding when drifts apparently encountered water from the Ohio River"
