| | Kennecott National Historic Landmark |
| | Along with building the mine and mill works, this corporation controlled the entire transportation route, funding the 196-mile Copper River and Northwestern Railway from Kennecott to Cordova and organizing a steamship line that shipped the ore to the smelters in Tacoma, Washington. | | | Successfully meeting countless challenges posed by the extreme Alaska setting, this system of mining and transport engineering operated from 1911, when the railroad was completed to Kennecott, to 1938, when the high grade copper veins were depleted. | | | Their discovery, staked as the “Bonanza Mine Outcrop”, was sampled revealing up to 70% pure chalcocite copper, a good measure of silver, and a trace of gold. |
