The Stony Brook, or Pikes Peak, mine was in Pequannock Township, Morris County, about midway between Charlottesburg and Split Rock, and about a mile east of a line between the two points. On the topographic maps of the New Jersey Survey the mine openings are represented as being on the west side of Stickle Pond (now better known as Kinney's Pond).
There are five openings from which ore has been taken. One is reported to have been made by tlie London Company over 140 years ago. The others were sunk in 1-7, the deepest being 30 feet. The place was worked for a short time and then closed down. Work was again resumed in 1870, and roo tons of ore were raised antl made into blooins during the following year. In 1880 the mine was abandoned.
There were several small deposits developed. of which the thickest was only 3 feet across. Their dip is 60" southeast. Just outside the original line, however (on the Righter lot), there is reported to be 13 feet of ore and rock.
