One of the old, obscure iron mines near the Franklin Pond, South of the zinc orebody. The workings included the Furnace shaft about 100' deep vertically, then another possible 100' on an incline. These workings are now covered over. Ore was magnetite. Operated 1867 until November 1881. This locality is within the Franklin Mining District.
NOTE: Old specimens labeled as coming from "Franklin Furnace" are from Franklin before 1913, when the name of the town was changed from "Franklin Furnace" to "Franklin."
