Executor Father Cyril Pauwelyn of Helena seeks a court order to extend the lease on the Blackhawk mining claim held by Emmet Ryan. The estate of James Tuohy, who died in Butte about ten years ago, includes several beneficiaries and trust arrangements with the Sisters of Charity of Helena. The Blackhawk lease, tied to Tuohy’s will, is set for hearing January 26. Tuohy, known as Wake-Up-Jim, owned Wake-Up-Jim mine assets later sold to Anaconda Mining Co. The cash from the sale, reportedly $80,000 to $90,000, remains a county mystery. The estate also includes Blackhawk and Burke Balaklava claims in Meaderville copper belt. The Blackhawk value is listed at $10,000.
