Last of Massachusetts, Iron Mining
From the Boston Globe.


Before the days when tidewater trans
port and the nearness Of furnaces
to natural gas and coal mines entered into
the profitable production Of pig iron
there was a string of iron mines along
the Hoosac and Housatonic river valleys
and across the Taghconic hills in the
towns Of Richmond and West Stock
bridge.
AS early as 1920 iron Of high grade
had been smelted from Strikes In the
Berkshires. At Richmond. with a great
wooden water wheel to furnish power,
the furnace which has lasted the longest
was established in 1920.
Today, after continuous operation for
eighty years. the Richmond mine is still
being worked, and enough brown hema-
tite ore is taken from the earth to smelt
about 200 tons of pig iron weekly.
There Is a reason for the operation of
this Richmond mine. the only ron mine
now being wor.. ed in Massachusetts, where
only AZ per cent of the ore is metallic
iron while the ores taken from the great
mines operated along Lake Superior aver
age from 60 to 65 per cent. or course
like Berkshire papers and other wares
made in the westernmost part of Massa-
chusetts, it is the superior quality of
output which makes Richmond mining
profitable.
