Snowfall |
Buildings, Manufacturing Process, Mills and Millwork, Saw Mills, Seasons, Winter |
Winona sure does get snow. Even the Riipa Lumber Co. sawmill in the Twin Lakes vicinity is proof of this. Sunday, a dark day, found the mill revealing this photo. One could walk from the former right of way of the Copper Range Railroad right up to the top of the building without trouble, so extensive is the snowfall. Because of environmental factors the Riipa mill may phase out of the sawmilling facet. Plainly, it appears there are just too many regulations. The firm will, however, remain in the lumber business and likely will enlarge its plant. [Image of the Riipa mill covered in snow.] Scanned: January 19, 2009 |

[Early sketch of stamp mill in Keweenaw County. A man is shown at the upper right feeding ore into the top of a mill using two sets of Cornish drop stamps. Another man is seen to the right and processed mineral and water are seen exiting the bottom of the machinery. Although this illustration does not carry an attribution, it is likely done by Benson John Lossing and William Barritt, active illustrators of the late Nineteenth Century who are credited with the other illustrations in this publication.] Scanned: November 17, 2006 |
