Main Range Ready for Work 10 Begin
The Butte Main Range Copper Mining group plans to develop and work idle and new claims in East Butte. Superintendent Pat Sheehan leads three shifts to crosscut from the 500 level of the Sinbad shaft toward rich breccia once shipped. The group, led by Hol Hickey and Py Brophy with Paul Sheehan, raised about 50,000 dollars to prepare and equip two boilers, an engine, and a compressor room. Water was minimal in the old Sinbad shaft, and initial crosscutting will determine progress and extent of sinking based on ore encountered.
