Ida Oxford Mine; Oxford Mine
Oxford, S.E. Oxford, and M.F. Oxford Mines
These mines were operated by Ozark Mahoning, which began sinking the 365-foot Ida Oxford Shaft in 1949. The mines apparently extended along northeast–southwest-trending fractures, which were traced to the southwest into the southeast portion of sec. 26. Baxter et al. stated that this orebody connected with the Davis workings, so this ore pod was sometimes called the Oxford-Davis orebody.
