The Arlington copper mine: North Arlington, New Jersey

The Arlington copper mine is located in North Arlington, Bergen Co., N. J. The ore deposit occurs in a 10- to 30-foot thick arkosic sandstone layer, interbedded in red shale. Copper mineralization is associated with thin diabase sills and dikes. It would probably not be feasible to develop the underground workings since they are overlain by the residential section of North Arlington. One area, containing approximately 11,000 tons of indicated ore could possibly be quarried.
