A silver-lead-zinc mine. Mine to 1,165 (meters/feet ?) level. The Hector and Calumet mines were originally two mines working the same vein from opposite ends. Calumet was a small mining town, no longer in existence, uphill from Elsa on Galena Hill. A tramline brought ore from Calumet to the mill in Elsa.
