I think this an example of an import done poorly. The imported mines do not even have names imported with them. They were all called "Mine." I would suggest that the import be reversed until it can be done better (keeping the names).
Also imports of a significant scale should be documented on the wiki at: osm.wiki/Import

Yes, I am working on fixing this import. The names will be updated. We can reverse them and I will reimport. Otherwise just wait and i am fixing my merge script. Sorry about that, josm killed the names on me!

osm.wiki/Potential_Datasources#National I have documented the sources that I found interesting on data.gov and will be fixing the names today.

I have reworked a dirt hack version of my merger.
What it does is use the note field to uniquely define what nodes are unique. It takes an osm file that contains the badly named node with ids and the orginal nodes with negative ids in it.
