The Iron Chief, Black Eagle and other mines produced gold at Eagle Mountain between 1881 and 1900 from ores containing as much as 54 per cent iron. L.S. Barnes secured options and sold the mines to Southern Pacific Railroad in 1909. Kaiser Steel Company bought them in 1944, built a feeder railroad and began shipping Eagle Mountain iron ore to its Fontana Plant in 1948.
