The Hiawatha No. 2 was started in 1935 by the American-Boston Mining Co., and later incorporated into the Hiawatha Group by the Hanna Iron Ore Co. The complex included three surrendered properties of the Riverton Group: the Dober, Duff, and Isabella mines. The Oliver Iron Mining Co. started operations at the Riverton Group in 1892, and the two other Riverton Group mines, the Iron River and Riverton, continued operations independently of the Hiawatha through 1937.
The Hiawatha No. 2 Mine featured 21 levels to 2500 feet depth. Workings are interconnected with those of the Hiawatha No. 1 Mine.
