Jualin Mine

A stamping mill with a daily capacity of 30 stone (0.19 t) of ore was installed early in the mine's operation.

The mine operated intermittently from 1896 to 1901 and again from 1905 to 1908, when it was closed at a depth of 210 feet due to water infiltration and power shortages.

In 1912, the mine was purchased by a Belgian group, which began investing in better equipment and deeper drilling.

A drainage and haulage tunnel was planned to extend 7,800 feet (2,400 m) south of the mine to allow easy access to the mining levels, but the outbreak of World War I halted this effort when the extension was only 5,000 feet (1,500 m) long.

Today, Coeur Alaska leases the Jualin from Hyak Mining Company, which owns the property.
