The Snow Mine in Chester was the most northern emery mine located 1100 feet south  of the top of Gobble Mountain. It was an open pit operation in a vein about 10 feet wide and about 100 feet long. The minerals found here with the emery and magnetite were paragonite, amesite and margarite.  We also found remains of a building across from the pit and one farther down below.
