Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Review of the Iron Mining and Other Industries of the Upper Peninsula: For the Year Ending Dec; 31, 1881
There are mines of copper, tin, antimony and lead. Can it be that the author visited the tin discovery on the north shore, afterwards found and lost again by Detroit parties. In Lake Superior there is a great island which is fifty leagues in circuit, in which there is a very beautiful mine of copper; it is found also in various places in large pieces all refined. Is it not probable that the beautiful mine of copper referred to by this writer was the ancient mine lately re-opened by the Minong company? If the works of the ancients are so clearly discernible at this late day, it is not impossible that the scene of their mining operations niay, at that date - two hurr dred and fifty years ago - have presented nrore the aspect of a lately developed mine than that of one long abandoned.
