An iron mine in goethite (limonite) ore located 1½ miles (2 km) NE of Millerton. Owned initially by C. S. Maltby, then Thomas Iron Co. Started originally in 1750 and closed in 1891. Workings feature a pit 600 feet long by 400 feet wide.
This pit was last operated by the Thomas Iron Company of Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and abandoned in 1891. It is now filled with water to a depth of about one hundred feet, so that only the upper walls are exposed view. The data regarding the now covered portions were obtained from Mr. E. B. Manning, formerly manager of the mine. The pit is nearly circular and the interest of the geologist centers in the southeast wall which is shown in section in Fig. 14. A sketch plan of the mine is given in Fig. 15.
At least three small faults appear in the southeast wall of the mine and bring up the dolomite and overlying ore in step-like succession as indicated in Fig. 14.
The middle ore body is distinctly wedge-shaped, and is cut off by a fault exposed in the wall. The strike of this fault is nearly west.
From the north side of the pit the main body of ore was said to have followed a direction N. 70° W. along the strike, and to dip about 45° N.
