Peale, Peacock, and Kerr Corporation. The mines produced at varying capacities during
their years of operation, but were abandoned by the end of 1938.
This collection contains the employment records of these two mines during their last years
of operation, 1934 to 1937. The records include information such as age, experience,
national origin, physical description, and reason for leaving prior place of employment
for each employee.
