Caption: Montreal Trails – The Montreal Mine Marker
Additional Description: Inset – The Montreal Mine’s #5 Headframe towered over the community, a symbol of the importance of iron ore mining. In 1964, the great headframe was torn down for scrap metal signalling the end of the iron mining era. The huge waste rocks piles, called “tailings,” still stand as a lasting monument to the miners and their families.
