White Pine, Michigan
|
|
White Pine is located on M-64 in Ontonagon County. It was named by Captain Thomas Hooper of the White Pine Copper Company in 1881 because of the stand of white pine timber. A station on the Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul Railroad, in Carp Lake Township. Thomas H. Wilcox, a mining engineer, found mass copper in the Mineral River and formed the White Pine Copper Company to mine it, with himself as superintendent. Its settlement was given a post office as White Pine Mine on June 7, 1915, with Axel G. Johnson as its first postmaster. The mine closed about 1920, but in 1946, W.E. (Tex) Romig developed a process to recover copper from the ore by flotation and the mine was re-opened. Its post office, renamed simply White Pine, was restored on February 1, 1954, with Clarence Broemer as its first postmaster. Informational excerpts from Michigan Place Names, by Walter Romig, L.H.D.
