The Central Mine Historic District is a historic district located off US 41 in Upper Michigan.The mine itself was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958, [3] while the surrounding district was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973 [2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
The Nonesuch Mine is an abandoned copper mine and small ghost town in the southeast corner of the Porcupine Mountains State Park in Carp Lake Township, Ontonagon County, near Silver City, Michigan, United States. The area was given its name soon after Ed Less discovered the Nonesuch vein of copper on the Little Iron River in 1865. [1]
The mine's Quincy Dredge Number One sank in 1956, and Dredge Number Two was used until 1967, [2] when it too sank during a winter lay-up. [4] By this time, copper prices had fallen low enough that the reclamation process was not profitable, and the Quincy Mine abandoned both the dredge and its reclamation facility.
Usually the mines are said to contain valuable elements or minerals such as gold, silver or diamonds. Often there is a map or other document allegedly detailing the history or location of the mine. Common to all the lost mine legends is the idea of a valuable and mysterious resource being lost to history.
