The Company had a number of mines operating in the Upper Peninsula by the outbreak of World War I. By the 1940s the high grade iron ores mined underground were becoming depleted. The Company developed a process to concentrate low grade ores into iron ore pellets in the 1950s, and C.C.I.C's last underground mine closed in 1979.Rights management statement available at: http://library.mines.edu/digital/rights.htmlCleveland Cliffs Iron CompanyIron mines and miningMine rescue workScenes, interiorUnderground miningStillImage
