CRANBERRY IRON MINE Entrance to adit Click on picture to enlarge Looking outside from main adit entrance Click on pictures to enlarge magnetite, calcite, pyrite and hedenbergite magnetite-epidote-feldspar rock Attention: To "protect" native bats, a tall chain-link fence has been erected to prevent access to the underground workings.
