Biographical / Historical
The Atlantic Mining Company was organized in 1872 to operate the bankrupt South Pewabic (1864-1870) and Adams (1866-1870) mines. It resumed mining operations that year and continued until severe air blasts caused the collapse of the mine in 1906. A new mine (Section 16) was dug in 1906 and operated until 1911. Following the final closure of the mine, the company was acquired by the Copper Range Consolidated Company.
