Note:  The site around the main and secondary shaft is littered with nails stuck in broken boards.  Many of the nails are sticking upward.  Caution!

I was very pleased to receive an email from Bill Glover who indicated he worked at CopperCorp in around 1963-64.  Bill went on to say the original headframe was hit by lighting and burned.  It had to be replaced.  This event occurred in around 1963-64.  Thank you Bill for the information.  Bill also sent a photo of the mine.  Unfortunatley, my hard drive crashed and was not able to recover some lost photos including the mine photo of CopperCorp.
