An underground copper mine consisting of three shafts adjacent to Mass City, Michigan. The Mass Mining Company was organized in 1856 and worked sporadically until 1888, when the mine operations ceased. The mine was merged into the Mass Consolidated Mining Company in 1899. A wide range of minerals can be found at the original Mass Mine site, including copper, silver, and datolite.
