Michigan Crystal Falls
The Paint River Mine was found in the fall of 1880, under an option held by Dr. Bond, now of Iron River; and was wrought under his supervision until the spring of 1881, when Capt. Frank Raher took charge of the propertv in the interest of Messrs. Bond and McKenna, since which time the mine has come into the hands of other parties and is now managed by Supt. C. T. Roberts, and is conceded to be one of the best properties in the Crystal Falls district.
The Juniata, situated on section 29, township 43, range 32, is also one of the properties which received much attention from the Crystal Falls Iron Company; but after extensive explorations, without finding a clear body of ore, they allowed their option to lapse. An option was afterward taken by Mr. George Runkel on the property, and that gentleman, after a brief exploration, drifted into clean ore.
