For the early history of the Babbitt Vein, see locality information for the Eagle River Mine.
In 1880, the Eagle River Mining Company opened the Babbitt Vein which was located approximate 1,000 feet northeast of the St. Clair Vein. Two shafts were sunk 275 feet apart along the vein with recorded production of 49,678 pounds of copper. Little else is known of mining on the Babbitt. What is left of the Babbitt tailings pile can be found along the road to the St. Clair.
