This photo shows an early Caledonia scene. Taken at the time when Calumet and Hecla, Inc. was preparing to adapt the property for mining, it reveals the adit and surroundings. Today the adit is thoroughly revamped. The explosion which killed two men is of a type seldom experienced in the Copper Country mining area. The presumed cause, methane gas, is also known as marsh gas. [Image of the opening of the mine showing the rail tracks leading into it.] Scanned: April 7, 2009 |

Copper Mines - Homestake Copper Company |
Metal Trade, Copper Industry and Trade, Copper Mines and Mining, Sign and Signboards, Woody Plants, Trees |
While most "thermometer" signs register success by rising, that of the Homestake Copper Company of Calumet shows progress by falling. The sign is an indicator of the Centennial No. 6 mine dewatering projects, showing the original level of the water in the mine and its removal to date. The 31st level was reached this past Saturday. Bailing began April 2 when the water was at the 27th level. The thermometer in this case is the mine's shaft.
