One of the Richest Mines
Yankee Girl was the richest of the rich with ore assaying at over $10,000 per ton. The mine chased the vein of silver to a depth of 1,080 feet beneath the surface before stopping because of acid water leaking into the shaft which destroyed the pumps as quickly as they could be replaced. In the end, over 100 million dollars worth of silver was taken from Yankee Girl.
