The roadway is US-41 and the building to the left of the shaft house was a "dry" for the miners. The building was later owned by Ray Winquist & Son of Mohawk and used as a Saw Mill. Lake Superior Land now owns the property and it is used for a Log Yard. The select timber logged in Keweenaw County (Bird's Eye Maple, Curly Maple) is brought there and sold to log buyers from all over. (USA, Japan, etc.) Japan is a huge buyer of Bird's Eye Maple. The property to the right of the photo is now owned by Brian Sickler of Mohawk and he has a large Sand and Gravel pit there. I was born and raised in Keweenaw County and I am a "Local History Nut". My Grandfather was a pioneer in the Fulton/Mohawk area. He arrived with the Bollman Lumber Company in the late 1800s</I><B>." </B></div> </td> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=82 BGCOLOR="#CCCC99" TEXT="#080000" bgproperties="fixed" background="0408dfe1esnpes.jpg"> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#336666" FACE="Arial" ><B>Copper Country Reflections</B></FONT><B>     </B><B>|</B><B>     </B><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Copper Country Reflections"><U><B>home</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id116.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Keweenaw"><U><B><IMG SRC="0420e0e0.gif" border=0 width="14" height="14" ALT="previous" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>  </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="14"><B>       </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="14"><B>   </B><A HREF="id96.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Calumet Laurium Keweenaw"><U><B><IMG SRC="0440e0e0.gif" border=0 width="14" height="14" ALT="up" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <div> <B>Click arrows to go through series.  Use the UP arrow to go back to photos main page.</B></div> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=398 colspan=2 BGCOLOR="#CCCC99" TEXT="#080000" bgproperties="fixed" background="0408dfc3.jpg"> <div> Allouez</div> <div> <IMG SRC="25d13930.jpg" border=0 width="531" height="403" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
