Kilpatrick mine, Transylvania County, North Carolina

The U.S. Bureau of Mines' Minerals Yearbook for 1955 reported that the Powhatan Mining Co., of Baltimore, "continued to produce amphibole asbestos from the Kilpatrick mine in Transylvania County, N.C."1 For 1957 the yearbook said the company "produced a small tonnage of amphibole asbestos in Transylvania County," and for 1958 that it produced amphibole asbestos there "in small quantities"; neither report names the mine.2,3 The yearbook for 1959 said amphibole asbestos "was produced by the Powhatan Mining Co. from the Kilpatrick claim in North Carolina."4 For 1960 it reported the company's production "from mines in Transylvania and Yancey Counties," again without naming the mine.5

The documents report small or short-lived production of asbestos fiber for sale.2
