Begun in 1867, it first
operated in 1868. It originally had no rail access and was
supplied by wagons from a wagon road which went from the New York
location road (just north of the Peninsula Railroad tracks).
It produced 25 tons a day in 1880. In 1880, the C&NW surveyed
a rail line from the Nelson Mine (which was on Teal Lake's south
side) to Deer Lake. The rail never came from that direction.
In 1884, the C&NW built a line from the Ishpeming Cliffs Shafts
along the Carp River to the Deer Lake Furnace and Lumber Mill.
The furnace was short lived and ended in 1891. [EHMT]
