Postcard Photo - Miners underground in Pabst Mine, Ironwood, Gogebic County, MI
Postcard Photo showing 15 miners underground in the Pabst Mine in Ironwood. Gogebic County, Michigan. Miners are wearing carbide cap lamps. The Pabst mine was named for one-time owner. Milwaukee brewery owner Frederick Pabst. It had passed through a number of corporate owners before being purchased by the Oliver Iron Mining Company, which became a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation in 1901. Three years later, the company added another shaft to the mine, named"G" shaft, which would become one of its most productive. This new shaft was dug on a sixty-four degree incline towards the north, and was 10 feet(3.0 m) by 18 feet 8 inches. It descended nearly 2,600 feet through quartz slate and, for safety, its walls were lined with concrete and wood planks held in place with steel.

3 Original Brass Miners' Underground Check - hand stamped
This is a group of three very old miners' underground person checks.they were used to confirm that those who went down also came up. These are quite old and have been cleaned a bit to be readable. They appear to be a mixture of brass and copper-they are not nearly as bright as the photo shows nor are they as smooth. Note that the first or top one is flipped backwards to show you the rear side-it is number 142 and hand-stamped as are all of these.

Original Cased W. Darley & Company Miners' Dip Needle-Underground Mine Engineer
Offered here is an original cased Miners' Dip Needle. Manufactured by W. S. Darley& Company. Measures 3.50" diameter, with the original brass rod that screws into the dip needle. Miners' Dip Needles were used typically by the mining engineer to measure the strike and dip of an ore body or mineralized zone found underground. The compass would assist in the mapping process to show the shift boss and mine assayer the direction the miners should keep driving the drift to stay on line with the mineralized zone. Wonderful piece of underground mining history, still in good working condition. Thanks for looking! RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Feog4d71f%2B0a7%3E-14bd9678ae4-0x109-
