Banner Mine
Note: Huntting (1956) generates much confusion in regards to this mine. The mine itself was a single property, but there was also a Chinto Mining company that operated multiple nearby mines. Huntting groups these mines together as the "Chinto Mine" even though this is not necessarily accurate.
