Lyon Mountain VillageLyon Mountain Village as seen from St. Bernard's Catholic Church. Church Pond is seen in the foreground. The large pile of ore sand (tailings) from Lyon Mountain's mining days is seen on the middle right, and the old Republic Steel buildings may be seen to the left of center. On the far left is Averill Peak, one of Lyon Mountain's subpeaks with an elevation of 3810 feet. Look really closely to see the Mountain Lake PBS transmission tower. |
Ore TailingsThis is another photo of Lyon Mountain village showing the huge pile of ore sand (iron ore tailings) that still looms over the village. Ore tailings consist of finely crushed rock that has been separated from the iron ore. When the mines were in operation, a large conveyor belt carried the tailings and deposited them into piles such as this. There was once a commercial use for these tailings, and many tons were shipped out of Lyon Mountain via the railroad.
