The Penn-Canadian and Bailey Mine are on the same vein system that overlaps both properties. They are both on the west shore of Glen Lake and as such have also been referred to as the Glen Lake Mine. The mines shut down in 1971 and produced about 7 million oz. of Ag. The deposit was mined by 4 shafts to a maximum depth of 455 feet and an adit.

| ⓘ Acanthite Formula: Ag2S |
| ⓘ Allargentum Formula: (Ag1-xSbx) Description: A Specimen in the Rolf Luetcke Collection with a well documented locality indicates that the label is probably correct.
Allargentum is found at every silver mine in the Cobalt Camp but is not always recognized as it is intergrown with silver. Reiner Mielke 2015 |
