Most of the folks who created and abandoned those mines have been dead for 100 years or more.

Most, but not all. The most recent owners worked the mine as recently as 23 years ago.

"One of these is the Abbott-Turkey Run mine near Clear Lake, which was mined for a century, then abandoned in 1970."
