MN1034 FLIN FLON - MORGAN'S CAMP, E. HACKMAN, ATHAPAPUSKOW LAKE, LOOKING N.W.
POSTCARD

Date: Not Posted. No indication on the card, but it is part of a collection dated through the fall of 1917 through the winter of 1918.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: Caption on front reads; "Morgan's Camp 2 E. Hackman [pictured] Athapapuskow Lake looking N.W."

One of at least three camps constructed to house the horses & drivers who hauled the ore from Mandy Mine along winter roads to Sturgeon River Landing.


** This image is from a collection of 31 postcards that I acquired from an original set of 37. They were primarily private postcards (not commercially-produced) focused on the operations and personnel involved with the development & operation of the Mandy Mine on Schist Lake in Northern Manitoba from the early fall of 1917 through to the spring of 1918.

I had purchased about a half dozen of these late last year & have been haggling with the seller ever since to buy the unsold ones from the lot. It finally paid off. I am sure these are some of the very few photos of the Mandy Mine's first year of full operation.
