Question: A famous sexual harassment class-action lawsuit of the 1980s occurred in what ore mining district in 1866?

Context paragraphs:
Mesabi Range: The Mesabi Iron Range is an elongate trend containing large deposits of iron ore, and the largest of four major iron ranges in the region collectively known as the Iron Range of Minnesota.  Discovered in 1866, it is the chief iron ore mining district in the United States.  The district is located in northeast Minnesota, largely in Itasca and Saint Louis counties.  It was extensively worked in the earlier part of the 20th century.  Extraction operations declined throughout the mid-1970s but rebounded in 2005.  China's growing demand for iron, along with the falling value of the U.S. dollar versus other world currencies, have made taconite production profitable again, and some mines that had closed have been reopened, while current mines have been expanded.

Prada gender discrimination case: The Prada gender discrimination case was the first luxury fashion lawsuit on women's rights appeared in the global media.  The case was filed in Japan by Prada ex-employee Rina Bovrisse accusing Prada of sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace.  Prada denied all charges and countersued Bovrisse for defamation.  As the female judge who dismissed Bovrisse’s case, Reiko Morioka, said in 2012: discrimination is “acceptable for a luxury fashion label and that a well-compensated female employee should be able to withstand a certain level of harassment.”  Prada counter-sued for alleged defamation.  Bovrisse, not satisfied with the ruling, took the issue to United Nations Economic and Social Council.  The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for Japan's State party to introduce new regulations that would make sexual harassment in the workplace illegal.

Blakey v. Continental Airlines, Inc.: Blakey v. Continental Airlines, 992 F.Supp.  731 (D.N.J. 1998) and 164 N.J. 38 (2000), is a case concerning whether an employer must be held liable for harassment that can potentially occur on an internal internet bulletin board (which could be manifested as anything from a company forum to a mailing list).  The plaintiff brought action under the federal district court for claiming a hostile work environment sexual harassment under Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964 and New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD).  Concurrently, the plaintiff brought action under the New Jersey state court alleging that employer was liable for hostile work environment arising from allegedly defamatory statements.

This term is specifically a term used and defined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the definition for MST comes from federal law (Title 38 U.S. Code 1720D) and is "psychological trauma, which in the judgment of a VA mental health professional, resulted from a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment which occurred while the Veteran was serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training".  Sexual harassment is further defined as "repeated, unsolicited verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature which is threatening in character".  The behavior may include physical force, threats of negative consequences, implied promotion, promises of favored treatment, or intoxication of either the perpetrator or the victim or both.
