The Copper Mines of Lake Superior (Classic Reprint)
Author: Ossian Doolittle Ashley
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780484028950
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Excerpt from The Copper Mines of Lake Superior Copper mining on Lake Superior commenced in 1845, about twenty-eight years since. Prior to this date copper had been Obtained throughout the world in the form of sulphuret. The discoveries 'of Lake Superior were of native copper, which was a novelty in copper mining, and so improbable, according to all geological precedents, that much doubt was expressed by scientific men in regard to its reality. The facts were, however, abundantly proven. The distribution of this native copper, which seemed such a geological wonder, was principally in masses of various weight barrel work, which is strung together in adhering rock, like roots of a tree in the soil, and stamp stuff, which is disseminated through the copper bearing rock in small particles, known among miners as shot copper. In these three forms the native copper of Lake Superior is distributed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Prehistoric Copper Mining in Michigan
Author: John R. Halsey
Publisher: U OF M MUSEUM ANTHRO ARCHAEOLOGY
ISBN: 0915703890
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Isle Royale and the counties that line the northwest coast of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are called Copper Country because of the rich deposits of native copper there. In the nineteenth century, explorers and miners discovered evidence of prehistoric copper mining in this region. They used those “ancient diggings” as a guide to establishing their own, much larger mines, and in the process, destroyed the archaeological record left by the prehistoric miners. Using mining reports, newspaper accounts, personal letters, and other sources, this book reconstructs what these nineteenth-century discoverers found, how they interpreted the material remains of prehistoric activity, and what they did with the stone, wood, and copper tools they found at the prehistoric sites. “This volume represents an exhaustive compilation of the early written and published accounts of mines and mining in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It will prove a valuable resource to current and future scholars. Through these early historic accounts of prospectors and miners, Halsey provides a vivid picture of what once could be seen.” —John M. O’Shea, curator of Great Lakes Archaeology, University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology
