An iron mine opened in 1901 by the Verona Mining Co. The mine was incorporated into the Buck Mine in 1922, which was subsequently included in the Buck Group in 1944, which operated through 1962. Twelve levels in the Baltic property were developed to 1220 feet from two shafts, one of which was later abandoned.
The property description is W1/2-W1/2 Sec. 7 T42N-R34W, which is the 160 acres between N46ΒΊ2'38", N46ΒΊ3'30", W88ΒΊ36'41", and W88ΒΊ37'1".
