Arrington Mine - in Nash Co. 1 mile southeast of the Portis Mine. The mine tract comprises nearly 2,000 acres of land extending 2 or 3 miles down Fishing Creek. It was a lode gold mine. Conyer's Mine - was a lode gold mine. Davis Mine - was a lode gold mine. Kerney Mine - was a lode gold mine. Mann Mine - was a lode gold mine. Mann-Arrigton (Argo) Mine - in the northeast corner of Nash Co. At Argo P.O., 5 miles southeast of Ransom's Bridge. Also accessible from Aventon, last worked in 1894 but with depth explorations in 1930's for lode gold. I have found gold in placers in several of the streams and gulches surrounding this mine back in 1987, but I think some of the area may have changed since then. If I remember right, there was a sub division being constructed close to the creek I was panning in. Nick Arrington - is twelve miles east of the Portis Mine and produced lode gold. Portis Mine - on dumps, gold showings and gold in placers. The Portis Mine is in the northeast corner of Franklin Co., quite near to both Nash and Warren counties. It is situated on a hill 108 feet above Shocco Creek, from which water for hydralic work is obtained. Taylor Mine - is a lode gold mine. Thomas Mine - 1.5 miles northeast of Ransom Bridge and produced lode gold. Tom Arrington Mine - gold in placers at this mine.
