Carmel Antimony Company


Sulfide deposit located on the east side of Harvey Stream. Mine is located a little over a mile east of the village. Work began in the spring of 1880, and it remained operational for an unknown period of time, at least one year. Mine had moderate success, though it is speculated that the shaft had drainage problems, and it is very unlikely that the mine survived the Maine market crash later that same year.

Remnants of the mine include a shaft and a large pit that may be the remnants of the ore house (now filled with water and sediment) 10 meters from Harvey Stream, with a tailings pile adjacent to them.

Locality is not open to the public - accessed by landowner permission only!
