Edison Copper Mine in Sparta, NJ
The Edison Copper Mine
is located on the old Thomas Edison Mines in Sparta, NJ. The Mine is located
deep in the heart of the woods. There is not much information on it except for
it being listed as a copper mine on a few maps from the 70's. Despite the fact
that it is listed as a copper mine, there was no typical copper ore found in
the large mound of tailings.
