Michigan Crystal Falls
We have no means of ascertaining why the Juniata has never been wrought as a shipping mine.
The Great Western Mine, which was opened under an option held by S. D. Hollister, Sr., in 1881, was afterward disposed of to the 'Great Western Iron Company, and put under the superintendence of Mr. George Runkel, and has since changed management several times. Capt. Frank Raher had charge of the works during the exploration of the property. The Great Western has recently been wrought by the Iron Star Mining Company, and, having figured quite conspicuously as an active shipping mine, is still in excellent condition, under the management of Capt. Wm. Hooper. The Great Western is located on the east half of the southwest quarter of section 21, township 43, range 32.
