First mined for iron ore in 1917, the Milford Mine reached depths of 200 feet (61 m) by 1924 under its owner George H. Crosby; 70,000 tons of ore were mined and shipped this same year. Manganese ore, an ingredient used to make steel, was shipped from the Milford site to Duluth then to steel factories in cities including Detroit and Cleveland. [3]
Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate, with the formula (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO 3, and member of the pyroxenoid group of minerals, crystallizing in the triclinic system. It commonly occurs as cleavable to compact masses with a rose-red color (its name comes from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) 'rose'), often tending to brown due to surface oxidation.
