Meadow Mine

Copper Country Explorer - Explorations

“Somewhere along Garden City Road (and presumably near Garden City Pond) should be the ruins of the Garden City Mine. It was our hopes to find these ruins during a drive along the old road early in the fall. Almost too easily we happened across a small poor rock pile along the north side of the road. Poor rock piles mean a nearby mine, and we took a look around to find it. We dropped down from atop the small pile and entered a shaded cedar swamp, sprinkled with a variety of shallow dips and holes in the ground. It was possible that these pot marks were the result of the swampy soil, or they could be subsidence from a mine underneath our feet.”
