Wolverine Mill

Copper Country Explorer - Explorations

“The modern Wolverine Mill was opened in 1902 along the shores of Lake Superior near the burgeoning town of Gay. Built in the 1890’s to replace the mine’s original wood mill back at the mine site, this new structure was a smaller cousin of the Mohawk’s Mill – which was being built next door around the same time. True to the close partnership between the two John Stanton-operated mines, the mills shared a pump house and a superintendent, were built simultaneously, and closed within years of each other. The Wolverine would shut down 7 years before the Mohawk, in 1925.”
