The Post-Star, June 5, 2005—Recalling a legacy of mining: In Clinton County, iron was king. The mines around Lyon Mountain, operated by the Chateaugay Ore and Iron Company, were established by the early 1870s and closed in 1967. By the late 1880s, the population of Lyon Mountain swelled to more than 3,500, “making it the second-largest community in the Adirondacks after Saranac Lake,” according to a review of Lawrence Gooley’s new book, Lyon Mountain: The Tragedy of a Mining Town, written by Neal Burdick for the May/June issue of the Adirondack Explorer.
