    Abstract
    Copper rarely occurs in huge quantities in native form. But an exception is the renowned century old Lake Superior mining region in Northern Michigan, USA, of which many interesting lores and legends abound. The 48 km wide Keweenaw Peninsula (KP; also known as the Copper Country or the Upper Peninsula, UP); situated in the State of Michigan, has an appearance of a narrow, crooked thumb testing the cold, blue waters of the Lake Superior (Fig.l). An ancient legend considered the KP to be of solid copper! The Red Indian tribes Algonquins and especially the Chippewa vaguely hinted at a powerful lost ancient race that had mined copper The UP was divided when Ohio occupied Toledo city and as compensation 40,000 sq. km of unknown and unexplored wilderness between Lakes Michigan and Superior was exchanged with a reluctant Michigan State.
