1. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1893 p7

2. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1893 p11

3. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1894 p7

4. Horace Stevens Copper Handbook Vol 1 p44

5. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1894 and 95

6. The process used for including this map and the rest that are in this report rendered much of the text illegible, and some of the lines obliterated. Some touching up was done via Windows Paintbrush to make the map more informative. Due to space restrictions, some diagrams had to be left out of the online version because they couldn't be reduced in size and remain readable.

7. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1895 and 1896.

8. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1899 p11

9. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1902 p14-15

10. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1903 p14-15

11. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1904 p14

12. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1906 p18

13. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1910 p13

14. Charts were generated from the numbers given in the annual reports of the Atlantic and Baltic Mining companies. Gaps in data are where either the report was missing from the archives, or the report did not give a figure for that year.

15. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1903 p15

16. Lake Superior Milling Practice p35

17. Baltic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1899 p14

18. Baltic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1899, 1900 and 1901 This number was arrived at by adding up the individual expenses listed in the construction accounts. For some reason it does not add up to the total listed at the end of the section, but comes up several thousand dollars short.

19. Baltic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1900 p19

20. Copper Range Consolidated Company report to stockholders, 1904 p26

21. Copper Range Consolidated Company report to stockholders, 1905 p10

22. Copper Range Consolidated Company report to stockholders, 1911 p22

23. Copper Range Consolidated Company report to stockholders, 1916 p19

24. Clarence Monette-Redridge and it's Steel Dam p 121

25. Description of dam dimentions taken from Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1894, p14 and 25

26. Atlantic Mining Company report to stockholders, 1900 p6

27. Horace Stevens Copper Handbook vol. 1 p254

28. This and most of the black and white photos of the dams in this paper are from the William Brinkman photo collection.

29. Confusion reigns on this measurement, the Atlantic company reports say 468', Baltic Company reports state 468', Copper Handbook lists it as 475', Engineering News and Professor Terry Reynolds of MTU both give 464'. This researcher did not have the equipment necessary to find out for himself.

30. Engineering News Vol XLVI No. 7 p102.

31. For some reason, the ends of the Baltic pipe stubs are buried, making measurement of inside diameter impossible. (I did not want to vandalize the site)

32. From a footnote in Professor Terry Reynolds article "The Rise And Fall of Steel Dams"

33. Daily Mining Gazette-"Redridge resident recalls Easter Day Flood of 1941"

34. Photo in Reynolds article mentioned earlier. p8

35. Construction accounts from Atlantic reports from 1893-1910

36. Construction accounts from Baltic reports from 1899 to 1902.

37. Information on these roads was taken from data written on the back of the photo by William Brinkman.

38. The Sanborn representations in this website have been extensively modifed from their original format in order for them to be readable.
