Barite Mines of Cheshire
- Item #: 111
This is a reprint of The Barite Mines of Cheshire published by the Cheshire Historical Society. It is kept in circulation because of the importance of these mines to the local history and to U.S. mining history. This is a good history of this interesting subject and it points out that the barite from the Cheshire mines was in demand by the paint manufacturers in New York and that one of the mines is reported to be the first barite mine in the United States. 36 pages.
