"The Chequamegon is another noted cafe which has been in operation for more than fifty years.  The name, derived from an Indian word, was a tongue twister for the early day miners, many of whom called it the 'Chew Quick and Be Gone Again' and let it go at that.  It was the lunching place of many of the Copper Kings."
