sorry gus,but the coke ovens i was speaking of are of the beehive type that were usually made into a hill by the mines,not a vertically oriented one like the copper mines in the west.but a great place to look is the habs site,i found this for you while i was there:http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?col...mem_YMp7::
here is a site full of the ovens i was talking about:http://patheoldminer.rootsweb.ancestry.com/coke2.html
and all that was just a quick search,i know there are alot more copper mines in there i just didnt know enough about them to use correct search terms.im sure you'll have better luck than me.--josh
