Geocache Description:

This is the second in this series hope you enjoy it

Ore for the Oswego Furnace was obtained from two mines: the Patton Mine in South Oswego and the Prosser Mine on Iron Mountain. The ore was a hydrated form of hematite variously known as brown hematite, limonite or bog ore. An 1888 account in a supplement to the West Shore magazine described the Prosser Mine: “It is a fissure vein of brown hematite, averaging ten feet in thickness, the ore yielding forty percent metallic iron. The old mine penetrated the hill in which the ore is found for a distance of about a thousand feet. The ore is first shoveled into cars in the mine, hauled out and dumped into bunkers, from which cars of the Oregon Iron & Steel Company’s narrow gauge railway are loaded and drawn to the furnace stock house.”o You are looking for a well cammo'd bison tube container. Please rehide this one well. Replace all can no as found Difficulty rating due to alot of muggle activity on this trail. CONGRATS TO TOM VEIL FOR THE LEGAL BUT COLD FTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
