Harrington-Hickory Mine, Beaver
County, Utah.
The Harrington-Hickory explored two fissures, the
Adelia and the Harrington that cross the mine property. The mine was
developed by four main shafts and several smaller shafts. Workings reached
depths in excess of 600 feet with several thousand feet of drifts and crosscuts
on the various levels. The mine saw activity from the 1860's through the
early 1900's and sporadic periods of mining have occurred since that time,
most notably in the 1940's-50's.
