Location is on the south side of Jackson at the intersection of Broadway Street and French Bar Road, on the left when traveling south on Broadway Street.
The Zeile produced over $5,000,000 in gold. It was first worked in the 1860's and by 1867, there was a 16 stamp mill crushing the ore and a chlorination plant treating the concentrates.
The mine closed in 1875 but re-opened again in 1880 and operated continuously until 1914.
