Description
Excerpt from The Copper Mines of Lake Superior
It is this mining region which I have endeavored to describe, by the aid of observations and information secured during three weeks in the summer of 1904. For much of my material I am indebted to the courtesy of mine managers and engineers, whose names are mentioned, with grateful acknowledgment, in the pages that follow. During the whole of my stay at Houghton I received the help, and frequently the stimulating companionship, of Mr. F. W. Mcnair, president of the Michigan College of Mines, and of Mr. L. S. Austin, professor of metallurgy in that most efficient technical institution. To these two friends I am under particular obligations.
One matter, to which I regret to refer, requires mention in this account of the copper mines of Lake Superior; for, unpretentious as my story is, I desire it to be an honest portrayal Of mining affairs in the Upper Peninsula during the year 1904. Therefore, this explanation.
