Albion Mine was an underground copper mine in Calumet/Laurium. This was an unprofitable mine which had three shafts and an adit. It was first worked in 1853.

One opening known as the silver shaft because of the profusion of that metal. Company spent too much money on surface before opening the mine and failed in the mid-1850's. [CHBK]
