Biography
The Allouez Mining Company was organized in 1859, but work didn't start until 1869 on the Allouez Conglomerate lode in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Work continued until 1877, when it was leased on tribute until the company resumed control in 1880. In 1885 the mine was again leased to tributers until 1889 when the company resumed control. In 1923, the Allouez Mining Company was absorbed by Calumet and Hecla Consolidated Copper Company and mining operations ceased shortly after (from http://www.mindat.org/loc-8414.html, accessed December 2010).
