The Argonaut Mine is a gold mine in Jackson, California. It was discovered in 1850 (as the Pioneer Mine-owned by James Hager and William Tudor). The mines began seriously producing in 1893 when it was purchased by the Argonaut Mining Company. It was the site of the worst gold-mining disaster in the state's history. The mine closed in 1942 and, along with the nearby Kennedy Mine, is registered as California Historical Landmark #786.
