New York...has lite wear & folds &creases...Michigan\'s Great Seal was designed by Lewis Cass, Michigan\'s second (non-acting) Territorial governor. The seal was patterned after the seal of the Hudson Bay Fur Company. It was presented to the Constitutional Convention of 1835 and adopted on June 2, 1835 as the official Great Seal of Michigan.

At the top of the Seal are the words, \"E Pluribus Unum.\" These words come from our national motto meaning, \"From many, one.\" Or, in other words, forming one nation from many states.


Below is the American Eagle, our national bird. This symbolizes the superior authority and jurisdiction or control of the United States. In its claws the eagle holds three arrows and an olive branch with 13 olives. The arrows show that our nation is ready to defend its principles. The olive branch means we want peace. The olives stand for the first 13 states.


\"Tuebor,\" meaning, \"I will defend,\" refers to Michigan\'s frontier position.


The shield is held by two animals representing Michigan, the elk on the left and the moose on the right. Michigan is on an international boundary, and the figure of the man shows his right hand raised in peace. The left hand holds a gun to say that although we love peace, we are ready to defend our state and nation.


\"Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice\" means, \"If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.\" It is believed this refers to the Lower Peninsula. The Upper Peninsula was added in 1837, to pay for the loss of a strip of land on our southern border, given to Ohio when Congress made Michigan a state...

Adventure

..the Adventure, consisted of three shafts and at least one adit. It is located just south of the town of Greenland, about 15 miles SE of Ontonagon. The Adventure Mining Co. organized in 1850. In 1858 it purchased the Merchants Co. property. In 1870 the company was sold and reorganized under the same name. In 1898, the company was sold again and reorganized under the Adventure Consolidated Copper Co. This consolidation included the Adventure, Hilton, and Knowlton mines. The company suspended all operation in October of 1917. The mine produced approx. 11 million lbs. of refined copper.Lake of The Clouds

The Adventure Mine is a copper mine in Greenland Township, near Greenland, Michigan in Ontonagon County, Michigan that operated from 1850 to 1920. The mine has five shafts. It is open for tours from late May to mid-October, under the operation of the Adventure Mining Company.

In 1850, the Adventure Mining Company (unrelated to present company) was formed and operated a mine until 1862. In 1863, it was purchased by Thomas Mason and named the Adventure Copper Company. Starting in 1898, the property was operated by the Adventure Consolidated Copper Company. Production ceased in 1908 due to low copper prices, but restarted for a short time during World War I. Production finally halted in 1917 and the mine closed in 1920.

Beginning in the 1970s, tours have been available on and off. Jack and Margaret Neph purchased the mine in 1972 and offered tours from 1973 through the mid-1980s. Their son John, along with his wife Winnie, offered tours from the late 1990s until 2003. The current owners, the modern Adventure Mining Company owned by Matthew and Victoria Portfleet, purchased the mine in 2004 and have operated tours since 2005.

Since 2009, an annual bike race called Miner\'s Revenge has been held whose course runs both within the mine and above ground..

Within the state of Michigan, copper is found almost exclusively in the western portion of the Upper Peninsula, in an area known as the Copper Country. The Copper Country is highly unusual among copper-mining districts, because copper is predominantly found in the form of pure copper metal (native copper) rather than the copper oxides or copper sulfides that form the main copper ore at almost every other copper-mining district. From 1844 to 1985, more than fourteen billion pounds of copper were produced from Michigan\'s Lake Superior Copper District, on the Keweenaw Peninsula.The first written account of copper in Michigan was given by French missionary Claude Allouez in 1667. He noted that Indians of the Lake Superior region prized copper nuggets that they found there. The Michigan State Geologist, Dr. Douglass Houghton, reported on the copper deposits in 1841, causing a rush of prospectors. Mining took place along a belt that stretched about 100 miles southwest to northeast through Ontonagon, Houghton, and Keweenaw counties. Isle Royale, on the north side of Lake Superior, was extensively explored, and a smelter built, but no comparatively important mining took place there.Copper mining in the Upper Peninsula boomed, and from 1845 until 1887 (when it was exceeded by Butte, Montana) the Michigan Copper Country was the nation\'s leading producer of copper. In most years from 1850 through 1881, Michigan produced more than three-quarters of the nation\'s copper, and in 1869 produced more than 95% of the country\'s copper.Commercial copper production began in 1844. Most early miners began with little knowledge or planning, and few early mines ever saw much production, much less profit. The first successful copper mine, the Cliff Mine, began operations in 1845, and many others quickly followed. These first mines worked copper-filled fissure veins that cut across stratigraphic layers.. Adventure . Greenland Township is a civil township of Ontonagon County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 870 at the 2000 census.
