Diamond Drilling |
Persons, Miners, Woody Plants, Trees |
The first necessary item to be given attention in diamond drilling back in 1915 was the installation of the boiler. Here a group of drillers are assembled in the foothills of the Porcupine Mountains of Ontonagon County preparatory to diamond drilling for the Cole and McDonald Co. of Virginia, Minn. Hurontown's Walter Harvey indicates that the drilling was for the White Pine Co. It is known that the Extension sank a shaft in this area and it likely was this company and not the White Pine Co. which preceeded the current White Pine of Copper Range. [Image of two men standing next to the boiler which looks like it could belong to bootleggers of the prohobition era.] Scanned: February 18, 2009 |
