Records of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41501387

The emphasis of this collection is on the land and lumbering operations of the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co. during the first several decades of the 20th century. Most materials relate to Alger County, the focus of the Company's lumbering operations, and to Marquette County, the focus of the mining operations on the Marquette range. The majority of the materials assembled here are the records of the Land Dept. (ca. 1896-1926) and the Lumbering Dept. (ca. 1905-1940). In addition, several series of records are from the Cliffs-Dow Chemical Co., the Northern Veneer Institute, the Piqua Munising Wood Products Co., and the Upper Peninsula Land Co. Record types in the collection include account books, financial statements, inventories, payrolls, land ledgers, and reports of logging operations.
