Time Line

1911. The Chatham Mine is located in the N. E. ¼ of the S. E. ¼ of Section 35, 43-35 in the village of Stambaugh in the Iron River district, and is operated by the Brule Mining Company. A Sullivan automatic slide valve hoist has been recently installed. The compressor is a Sullivan straight line Corliss. The mine is operated from two shafts, one on each side of the Iron River; No. 1 having a depth of 700 feet and No. 2 a depth of 300 feet. A great deal of pumping is necessary owing to its close proximity to the river. [LSMI-1911]
