The last owner of the Patch Mine aka 'Glory Hole' and ore mill that
buried the depot also owned many other mines in the area.

Yes, I know exactly where the 'Glory Hole' was located. The same
hill also had the 'Kirk, Wood, & Calhoun' mines that did produce
Pitchblende and at least two other radioactive ores. The 'hill' was
never big enough to be called a mountain.

Few mines were able to mill their own ore and many dedicated mills
processed other ore during slack times. Without historic documentation,
it is only speculation exactly what ore was run thru any ore mill during
it's life.
