“The Ahmeek Mine was the savior that C&H had desperately been searching for. As production began to wane along the great Calumet Conglomerate lode the company began a hectic search for the next great rising star. The new star – it turned out – was the Kearsarge Amygdaloid lode. Through a run of acquisitions and buy-outs C&H managed to take control of a great deal of mines working this new lode – one of them being the Ahmeek mine sitting just south of Mohawk. The mine proved to be a ringer, and soon was accounting for the majority of C&H’s copper production for the next 40 years.”
