Company Name:	Tilton Mining Company
Mine Name:	Tilton No. 1 Mine
Start Date:	1923	End Date:	October 1941
Type of Mine:	Underground
Total acres shown:	108
Acres after map date:	12	General Area of mining acres shown:
This area is smaller than expected from production; the expected size is about 220 acres (minimum 180 acres). A general area of mining has been added to the map to indicate the expected size. The mine map may be incomplete. The east part of the mine was active at the time of the last survey, and this may be the location of the acres mined after the map date. The old workings near the southeast part of the mine are probably from prior to 1931.
