THE QUINCY MINING COMPANY

The Quincy Mining Company was incorporated by special charter of
tn State Of Michigan, March 80. ls4s. 1t was organized under the
mining law of Michigan March &, 1878.
The capital stock is represented in n hundred and fifty thousand
shares d. twenty-five dollars each, Dr. SO, 100000. One hundred and ten
thousand shares have been issued. The present officers of the company
are: William R. Todd, President; W. Parsons Todd. Vice President;
y: a. raul Secretary and Treasurer; the Directors being Walter p
Devereaux. Isaac II. Meserve, William NJ, Belcher, John NJ. Longycar and
Otto kirchner. The executive Offices are located at SO Broadway, New
York. The story of the Quincy properties in the Lake Superior District is
me OF inc most interesting in copper annals First, the Michigan Lake
Superior mineral range is remarkable for its pure copper formations and
accessibility through the cheapest of all water communications. Here the
native metal is dscovered-enough to prove a lure, and here the people
hst came to engage in this great industry. More than two centuries ago
IN existence OF copper in this region was known.
IN 1876 on a hill near the northery margin Of Portage Lake, some
organization Of the Quincy Mining Company-one of the earliest pioneer
mining operations of the entire region. The beginning WI small, the
progress slow, but the Quincy has never taken a backward step.
Under its l848 charter the capital stock of the Quincy was $1,000
of timber. Five trustees cared for its affairs and Eurotas p. Hast
ings was the President. A notable incident in this companys history
was the association in the SOS of Thomas +. Mason with the organization
Mr.. Mason became President in 1861, and in the course of "a long and
The Quincy mine operations have always been chassed with the most
conservative. The mineral lode is of a well understood character. The
Quincy. too, has been conducted IS e legitimate enterprise.
Additional mineral territory was purchased from time to time, and
the acquisition of 1900 acres from the Arcadian Copper Co. and the St
Mary's Mineral Land Co. assured the Quincy an indefinitely long lease of
life. The first dividend paid by the Quincy was in 1862, and it has the
unequalled and very remarkable record of paying its dividends from then
till now, excepting two years. Not only has the regular annual dividend
been paid but enough money additionally earned to purchase some
100000 of real estate.
In 1860 200 tons per day was its output, Now its mills handle over
4 200 tons per day. 1t then cost 20 cents a ton, now less than 20 cents.
Smelling works and stamp mills have been constructed, and the five
mines. The companys modern coal docks re at Torch Lake.
On June 7, 1899, Mr. William r. Todd, who had long been connected
with the Quincy Mining Company, was elected President by the Directors
and he has since remained the head of the company.
