A view from 1939:

GARNET, (5,904 alt., 25 pop.), a few years ago a ghost town, is a busy mining camp. Many of the old-timers are still here, prospecting and spinning yarns. One of the yarns is of a winter when, because of deep snow, supplies could not be brought in and men could not get out. At length one man, equipped with a miner's lamp and laden with carbide, worked his way down to Bearmouth through the mine tunnels and arranged for supplies to be brought in.
