 * Comment: Article was moved from userdraft space on 14 March 2018, where it was worked on since 6 March. It has 7,607 characters of prose. All hooks are cited to sources which are used in the article. Nearly every sentence, if not all sentences, are verified to reliable sources. According to Earwig's Copyvio Detector, the closest this article gets to COPYVIO is 13%, that is largely due to usage of a quote in the Las Vegas Sun article from Col. Charles Meyer. All hooks are within 200 characters. No image is used in this nomination as I have not found any images of the mine itself that can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Reviewed the DYKN for Stephen C. Ananian.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, created day of nomination. More than 6 times long enough.  Article written in a neutral manner.  Article is replete with inline citations, every sentence has one.  Earwig detected only direct quotes, and I found no close paraphrasing, copying in thought structure, or other copyright issues.  The hooks are all within format, all accurate and directly tied to a citation found immediately after the claim in the article, and does not unduly reflect negatively on a living person.  The hooks are all broadly interesting.  QPQ complete, no DYK image to check.  This is a well-written, interesting article that is ready for and deserves mainspace exposure.  All hooks are approved, but I would recommend the original (ALT0) as most likely to generate interest.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:35, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
