There was a radio quartz mine only a few miles from my home in Tellico Plains, TN. A photo of what's left is here, bottom of the page: http://www.neon-john.com/RV/Tellico/State_Line/State_line_home.htm The vertical shaft has been filled in but the horz part remains. There is some beautiful quartz on the walls. I've never bothered to try to learn any of the history of this mine. Mostly what is know is that it was an excellent place to take yer girlfriend from some private time :-) John --- John De Armond See my website for my current email address http://www.neon-john.com Cleveland, Occupied TN All great things are simple and many can be expressed in single words: Freedom, Justice, Honor, Duty, Mercy, Hope. -Churchill _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
