Adventure Tourist Mine - Greenland, MI |
Metal Trade, Copper Industry and Trade, Copper Mines and Mining, Persons, |
Mrs. Jack Neph, part owner of the Adventure Mining property, here is crouched near the entrance to one of the early adits dug by miners back as far as 1850. The miners took what copper there was in a highly indescriminate manner. They paid attention only to the metal derived and cared nothing as to how the shafts or adit would appear. Therefore, there is no regularity to the digging. The property was open to tourists as the Adventure Tourist Mine. [Photo of a woman about to enter the mine.] Scanned: January 15, 2007 |

Adventure Mine, Ontonagon County |
Metal Trade, Copper Industry and Trade, Copper Mines and Mining, Persons, |
A new tourist mine has opened at Greenland in Ontonagon County. Known as the Adventure, it has borne this name since 1850 when it first was opened. It operated, intermittently, until 1898 during which year it was reorganized and operated somewhat steadily until it ceased to operate in 1917. During its post 1900 days, it produced as much as two million pounds of red metal in a single year. It possesses considerable silver for its current tourists but the amount derived is no where near what it was prior to 1898 when some $3,000 worth was taken out in a few days. Here, Frank Shabal, a one time Quincy Mining Co. miner, analyzes the reopened adit for copper samples. Standing and looking on is Jack Neph, owner of the mining property whose tract is 110 acres.
