Development at West Davis Geneva iron mine reaches 32nd level
The Oliver Iron Mining Co expands the West Davis Geneva mine near Bessemer, driving a long drift to reach the 32nd level 200 feet below the 30th. Work from the Geneva shaft at 3,055 feet depth progresses through granite and quartz slate, with heavy equipment, timber sets, and advanced ventilation and water systems supporting the long haulage crosscut toward the ore body.
