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.. 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.
