Apparently a big deal 1780s-1860, rebuilt post ACW and commercially viable until the 1950s. And able to be restarted in modern times, at least on a small scale. Complete with a river to aid in distribution.

Been by there hauling in a front loader to First Energy. I spend most of my time hauling to the mine at Fair Harbor OH (just east of Cleveland). They provide almost ALL of the salt for our municipalities to get through winter.
