Mica Mines

mining

This image is of miners working at the Mica Mine in Spotsylvania County. While not a Mineral mine, it is located along the same pyrite belt from which the miners in Mineral found their ore. Because of this, the methods by which they mined were likely very similar to that of the Mineral mines.

While the mine itself was not in Mineral, it was in very close proximity and many of its workers probably lived in Mineral or travelled back and forth between the two areas.

Arminius Mines Shaft 3

mining

This image is of miners standing in front of the building beside shaft number 3 at the Arminius Mines. The Arminius Mines workforce was always changing, creating a stream of labor coming in and out of the Mineral area. A large portion of the workers were farmers working during their off-season. In the summer months, the mines had to hire additional workers to replace the farmers in their workforce.

Miners at Arminius Mines

mining

This image is of miners at the Arminus Mines posing together. A clergyman is present in the middle and it is evident how many children grew up around and worked in the mines. Frequently, the miners weren’t steady long-term employees. They worked for a season or two and then found work elsewhere. Some workers, however, depended on the mines for their livelihoods and lived on the property, worked there for many years, and raised their families at the mines.

Daily Life at Arminius Mines

mining

This image is of the manager's family and their help standing in front of their housing at the Arminius Mines. In 1904, the mines were run by seven managers overseeing a workforce of three hundred men. It is said that the managers would often invite the workers into their larger homes at night to sing songs and read, fostering a sense of community among the miners and providing a break from the hard work at the mines.
