Old iron mine
History:
Pre-1900: 125,000 tons of ore shipped by the Kingston and Pembroke Mining Company from eight workings and an unspecified amount of diamond drilling was completed.
1907-1908: The mine was operated by the Wilbur Iron Ore Company who shipped 21,892 tons of ore to Algoma Steel Company at the rate of 200 tons per day. An inclined shaft (38deg) was put down to a depth of 90 feet south-southeast from the bottom of the No. 3 pit and a limited amount of underground development was completed.
1910: Mine reopened by Hawthorne Silver and Iron Mine Company with no shipments being made.
1911: Exploration Syndicate of America operated the mine for a short time.
