A mine in the Wheatley group of mines near Phoenixville. The mine was the only mine in Chester County operated solely for copper ore, however the mine operated for only one year (1853-1854). In 1978, the Morris Mine property was developed for residential construction. During construction, the shaft and dumps were accessible for a short time (Heyl, 1984, p.39), shortly after, there was no trace of the mining operation to be found.
