Algomah Copper Mine revival in Ontonagon County
In Ontonagon County the Algomah mine, idle 40 years, is revived by Gerald Warrener of Ontonagon and James Robb of Houghton. Since May they have grown from two men with shovels to a 15-member operation, extracting ore from a 150 foot deep shaft and aiming to process about 10 tons daily. The new venture, incorporated with Warrener and D. E. Crook as directors, shows rich copper ore averaging 15 to 20 percent after sorting.
