The Argonaut Mine was originally known as the Pioneer, was first worked in 1850. Until 1893, it was a small scale operation which received little attention. In 1893 the Argonaut Mining
Company was incorporated. Except for interruptions caused by fires, operations were continuous from this date until 1942. In the spring of 1919a severe underground fire caused the
loss of a year's production as the fire was not brought under control until the lower workings of this mine and the adjoining Kennedy were flooded
