Cobalt Miners’ Tavern
Cobalt, Ontario, population 1,223
One of the largest silver producing areas in the world in the early 1900s, when population peaked at 7,000. (Speculation over mining stocks in 1903 led to riots on Wall Street)
Only one mine exists in Cobalt today. The area is mostly a center for diamond exploration.
