The copper empire that once ruled the Keweenaw Peninsula was powered almost exclusively by steam, steam that was produced by an army of hungry boilers. In the beginning these boilers were fueled with one of the Copper Country’s most abundant resources: wood. But as mines flourished and the wood resources of the peninsula diminished, mines [...]]]></description>

Built in 1915 at a cost of nearly a quarter of a million dollars the Isle Royale stamp mill was the largest and most modern mill ever built on Portage Lake. Outfitted with three steam driven Nordberg stamps with a daily capacity of over 700 tons each, the mill was capable of processing nearly 2000 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Investment in a mines surface plant &#8211; those buildings that provided complimentary services to the underground operations such as machine shops and dry houses &#8211; was often understandably marginal. Surface structures only cost a mine money, and any funds devoted to their construction were then unavailable for the job of mining itself. Mines would therefore [...]]]></description>

The Isle Royale Mine’s location overlooking the bustling port city of Houghton had its advantages, but it also had one main disadvantage. With all the nearby waterfront already occupied by the city’s warehouses and docks, the mine was forced to look several miles to the east to find any available space for its stamp mill.

The old Isle Royale, Huron, and Grand Portage mines that later become known as the new Isle Royale Mine consisted of nearly 30 separate shafts spread over an area only a few miles in length. The closeness of these shafts often meant that several could share the same surface structures including a hoist, boiler, or [...]]]></description>

When the burgeoning copper mines along the Keweenaw Peninsula experienced a distinct labor shortage at the turn of the century, desperate mine companies began to look overseas to find the workers to fill the gap. The major mine companies sent representatives to Europe in order to find and recruit new workers willing to start a [...]]]></description>

The Keweenaw Peninsula rises up out of Superior&#8217;s depths along the upturned edge of a massive volcanic flow and erupts to the surface in a fury of rugged rocks and steep cliffs. This chaotic lake shore stretches northward for nearly fifty miles before turning eastward towards Manitou Island and disappearing once again into the depths. [...]]]></description>

The great copper mining rush that had invaded most of the Keweenaw&#8217;s wild interior was largely absent at the peninsula&#8217;s far eastern tip. While throughout the rest of the Copper Country forests were cleared and civilization seeded in its place, the tip of the Keweenaw remained wild and remote. It was this wild and desolate [...]]]></description>

For early sailors charting course for the newly opened port of Copper Harbor it was the sighting of two major landmarks that heralded their arrival. These were the pair of twin mountains which flanked both the natural harbor and port town that was nestled along its shore. For much of the Keweenaw&#8217;s history the bluffs [...]]]></description>

As investors and speculators searched frantically across the Keweenaw in search of untapped copper deposits, their attention shortly turned to the unclaimed lands along the peninsula&#8217;s tip. These early investments manifested themselves as several small exploratory mines, which produced very little copper if any at all. One of these early attempts was a small operation [...]]]></description>
