Excerpt from Report of the Directors and Mine Agent of the Star Copper Company, 1864: With Letters From Wm. H. Stevens and A. C. Davis, Esqs In 1851 a controlling interest of the stock was purchased. By residents of Boston, and the principal office removed to this place. About seventy thousand dollars have been expended in opening the veins on the location. On the principal vein quite a mine has been opened, two shafts having been sunk, one of which is more than three hundred feet deep; the other down to the thirty-fathom level. These shafts are connected by galleries, and an adit level for drainage, which level will strike the green stone at nearly two hundred feet in depth from the surface.
