Was there ever active coal mining in the state of CT?. With early logistics, and the state's history of manufacturing, it would seem a logical deduction. I cannot find anything on Google. Thanks, Craig Greetings John,

It was not a silver mine. It was an iron mine. Spathic iron is an obsolete term for the mineral species siderite, or iron carbonate.
