Maple Sugar Mine Memoir From Thunder Mountain to Vermont
Onevy Gagan writes from Vermont recounting a grand claim on a maple sugar mine near Copperfield. He says he shipped 10 000 tons of sugar blocks to world cities, with 75 tons to Butte, and claims a vast mother lode staked 1500 by 600 feet. He notes other Vermonters will burn his nuggets, and he plans to leave the town to citizens after "working out" the lead.
