 The entrance to the Bull Mine pictured here in 2005. |
Bull MineThe Bull Mine is a spectacular 19th century operation that produced 52,000 tons of ore by 1881, three years before it was permanently abandoned. The mine supplied both the Clove and Greenwood furnaces with iron ore having been used to produce foundry hardware. Robert and Peter Parrott owned this mine consisting primarily of an adit, shaft and inclined slope as well as other openings. It is believed the mine was worked to a total depth of 1,000 feet. Today, structural ruins are gone which included ore roasters. The magnetite vein was considerably large at the proportions of 100 x 10 and pitched about 40 degrees. |
