When the motorist is at the Church of the Assumption he is 20 miles from Copper Harbor and 22 miles from Fort Wilkins which was established in 1844. Actually, Phoenix is about half way between the Portage Lake district and Copper Harbor. Thousands of tourists are much attracted by this almost poetically beauteous church edifice. It was much used in the days when the nearby Phoenix shafts were working and the Keweenaw Central Railroad was in operation. [Image of sign on a snow-covered road.] Scanned: January 29, 2009 |

William P. Nicholls, a truly bonafide Copper Countryite, here is in the act of unveiling the sign which characterizes the noted trail named for him. It "runs" from the Altantic area to the Lake Mine district in Ontonagon County. As for Nicholls' reason for being honored, he is the vice president and resident manager of the Copper Range activities in the region concerned, the Copper Range really provided the route. Bill was born in Kearsarge, near Calumet, and his wife, also a true Keweenawite, first saw daylight in Copper City.
