History: In
1846, the first copper mine opened in Bruce Mines. Miners
from Cornwall, England emigrated to the area to work the
mines. The mining companies quickly built wharves and
docks in the bay to handle the influx of people and
materials. Two of the mine managers built their homes at
the entrance to the main dock property. They made sure
that only approved boats used the docks. The mining
companies did not allow any stores to open in their town.

All of the miners and their families were forced to
purchase from the Company Store. The Marks brothers from
Hilton Beach would load a barge on St. Joseph Island and
bring fresh produce, meat and lumber to the miners in
Bruce Mines. They were not allowed to land on the dock, so
would anchor their barge in the middle of the bay and the
people of Bruce Mines would row and paddle out to buy
merchandise from them. Eventually they opened one of the
first mercantile stores in Bruce Mines.
