The Mammoth-St. Anthony mine at Tiger has produced not only large amounts of gold, molybdenum and copper but also more than 90 different mineral species since Frank Schultz ataked the first claims in 1879. The mine began as several separate working that ultimately were consolidated, but to the collector that lacality is known simply as "Tiger". Prior to its closure in 1953 the mine was an incredible producer of both ore and mineral specimens. Famous for cave-ins, fires and other catastrophes, Tiger has never been a place where amateurs were able to collect freely. Mineral collectors thus owe a debt of gratitude to the miners who brought specimens home in their lunch pails, and to the various company officials who supported specimen recovery efforts. The locality is well-known for fine examples of common secondary minerals such as cerussite, dioptase and wulfenite, and also for rarer species such as diaboleite, caledonite, bideauxite and leadhillite which represent some of finest known examples of their species.
