Old tungsten mine and nearby topaz locality.
Skarn deposit. First tungsten deposit discovered in North America.
Previously called Lane's Mine (not synonymous with the Bismuth Mine in Monroe) and the Hubbard Mine in years past. Most often, minerals from here are labeled as coming from Old Mine Park. Mined not only for Tungsten, but also for quartz as a filler in paper.
Ref- Conversation between Tony Albini and Jeremy Zolan 12/2007.
