Windmills

Peace Officers, , Eagle River, Michigan - Keweenaw County now finally has an efficient communication system between its county seat at Eagle River and the cars of the Keweenaw County sheriffs office. The reason is that generation of power comes from a 75 foot windmill atop Brockway Mountain near Copper Harbor. The energy that comes from the high winds of the summit are more than adequate for energizing the varied communication instruments. [A man looks up at the windmill in operation.]
