Valle's Mine
The Valle mines were examined by Dr. Litton in 1854. They were situated in sections 7 and 8, township 88 N., 5. They were located on what was known as the West hill. Ten shafts had been sunk, of which the deepest was 170 ft. The ore was found in openings or crevices, connecting with each other, and filled with broken rock, clay and galena. Three series were recognized, the first and second about 20 feet apart, and the third, or lowest, 8 ft. below the second. All work at the time was conducted in the second series.
