The Noon Day mine was in the Iowa Hill district of Placer County, California, and the sources say it gave tremolite.1,2 The U.S. Bureau of Mines' Minerals Yearbook for 1955 reports that "tremolite was produced in Placer County by W. Zimdars and J. Delmue from the Noon Day mine in the Iowa Hill district."1 The yearbook for 1956 says again that Zimdars & Delmue "produced tremolite from the Noon Day mine."2
The documents report small or short-lived production of asbestos fiber for sale.1
