An underground copper mine consisting of four shafts. After the buyout by the Osceola Consolidated Mining Company in 1897 and later split, the North Kearsarge Mine operated the four shafts to the northeast of the Wolverine Mine. In 1902, the No. 1 shaft was reduced to a three compartment shaft and re-timbered, rendering the No. 2 shaft inadequate for future use. No. 3 shaft was considered the best producing of the four shafts and operated until the 1956 when all operations were ceased.
The Nos. 1 and 2 shaft piles are some of the largest in size on the Peninsula. No. 4 has produced kinoite much like the Laurium Mine.
Note: the coordinates about are given for the Nos. 1 and 2 shaft piles.
