On Bear Mountain, in Bear Mountain State Park. [Note: Bear Mountain State Park straddles the town and county line between Stony Point in Rockland Co. and Highland in Orange Co. The locality is in Stony Point, but is also listed under Highland, Orange Co., because some people might think it is in that town.]. Further references: The Geology of Orange Co., Geol. Survey of NY, Reis, Heinrich (1895): 454. NY State Museum Bull. Nos. 249-250, Magnetic Iron Deposits of SE NY, Clarke, John M. (Sep-Oct 1921): 97. NOTE: These references, which are more authoritative, place this mine and the remainder of the Greenwood group of mines in Tuxedo, East of Arden).
