Butterfield's fight to recover his May Lundy mines ends near
A long legal battle spanning decades unfolds over the Homer mining district near Mono Lake California. George W Butterfield, a Californian prospector, battles Pike Fox Kellogg and others to recover the May Lundy and related mines, after being deprived of ownership through one sided option agreements and contested trust deeds backed by London financiers. The saga features noted figures in law and mining, including Pike a former congressman, Fox a California Supreme Court justice, and Kellogg, with the struggle entwined with English investment and complex trust arrangements.
