By the early 1890s, the mine was the most productive in the state. The mine continued operation until 1963, by which point there was little if any market for the soft coal that it produced. <br>A bird's-eye map of Roslyn, with the mine located at the far edge of town to the right, can be viewed at http://kaga.wsulibs.wsu.edu/zoom/zoom.php?map=wsu350
