Silver Dollar Mine, CA

The Silver Dollar Mine is located in the Talc City Hills north of Darwin, CA. It's the only mine in the area that has a recorded production of lead, silver, and zinc. It produced 469,782 pounds of lead and 19,694 ounces of silver between 1910 and 1915.


The Silver Dollar Mine may have also produced talc, either during or after the lead/silver period, but I could find no definitive information about that.


Other mines in the Talc City Hills include the Alliance Talc Mine, the Sierra Talc Mine, and the Talc City Mine.
