Nevada Mercury Mine

Discovered in 1913. Not much in the way of production until In 1919, the mine had new owners and they produced 628 flasks using a 2-pipe retort. From 1920 until 1928, lessees worked the property recovering around 80 flasks per year. In 1929, the mine was bonded to a new Company, and a 30-ton Cottrell furnace was installed. From 1930-31, and around 34 more flasks were produced. Sporadic work was once again done by lessees from 1931 until 1939, was sold. The following year a rich body of ore was discovered, and from 1940-41 between 1200 and 1300 more flasks were recovered. The property has been idle since, with total production recorded at 2766 flasks in 1943.
