Tilly Foster Mine
Large iron ore (magnetite) deposit discovered in 1810. Although the mine is a few miles from Brewster, it is actually in the now defunct hamlet of Tilly Foster, now partly submerged by the Middle Branch Reservoir. The official incorporated name was Tilly Foster Iron Mine. The mine was 600 feet deep in 1879. Mining ceased in 1897, after 13 miners were killed in a rock slide. The articles by Nightingale (2001) provide a historical summary and mineral details, which have been incorporated into the species info pages of this site.
It is famous for its excellent brucite, chondrodite, clinochlore, titanite, and magnetite crystals and antigorite or lizardite (and other species) pseudomorphs after a wide variety of minerals. Dana (1874), Trainer (various), and Nightingale (2001) provide details. This list below is modified from Januzzi (1976):
antigorite or lizardite after amphiboles, anhydrite, anthophyllite, fluorapatite, biotite, brucite, calcite, chondrodite, olivine, chrysotile, clinochlore, dolomite, enstatite, fluorite, magnetite, muscovite, pectolite, clinoclore, pyrrhotite, scapolite, talc
