Utkin-Kowalski Salt Mine

The Utkin-Kowalski Salt Mine is a halite-rich salt mine located near the Abby Lake. The mine was opened in 1912 by two European immigrants who happened to come by the lake and were looking to become wealthy in the mining business. Unfortunately, the two only got to excavating a small portion of the salt deposits before giving up because they couldn't recruit any miners to work with them, and they couldn't find any employers to sell their yield to. The two abandoned the mine in under a year, without revealing its existence to anyone.

The mines were rediscovered by the Herschel Clan in 1919, and they learned of the mine's previous owners from the numerous documents and equipment they found in the abandoned bunkhouse that Utkin and Kowalski built during their time occupying the area. For a time, the Herschel Clan considered putting the mine up for sale, but they figured that the mine was deprived and never got around to selling it. Instead, they turned the bunkhouse into a private museum.

Afterwards, the mine remained untouched until January of 2012, when Christopher Costello purchased the mine for three-thousand and five-hundred Lovian dollars. Costello has plans for the mines to be renovated and put to use by Costello Enterprises.
