7 The very poor source map that was not used indicates the mine could be in section 6. However, the map is so poor, the section number could be wrong. The location shown is based on the 1895 Vermilion County plat, which shows Parle (the original owner) land in section 7 (not conclusive evidence of mine location, either).
