The book said they mined cement but actually, they mined a type of limestone and mixed it with clay and heated it to make cement. The mines were called the Black Ball mines.
Ya it stays the same ambient temperature all year underground i used to live by an old train tunnel and it was cold in the summer and warm in the winter
When I was there , there was this strange hippie guy that was VERY high and playing a pan pipe. my dad was nervous about him and there ia about 30 different enterances , but most of them are in a nearby canyon.
Not necessary. I was just curious because I just visited an underground limestone mine in Kentucky. Cement is a by-product .

What kind of mine is this? Limestone mine? Coal mine?

They mined cement. It was mined by the Utica Cement Manufacturing Company.
It was mined around the late 1800`s.
