Mining Claims Change Hands and Development Moves Ahead
J. R. Harvey sold the Running Wolf claim on Perry creek to Invitta Mining to serve as a base for tunnel development. The Gem and Stoney claims near the Sullivan group were sold to Spokane parties. Work starts on the St. Eugene flume with plans for flume concentrator and tramway when weather allows. Kellogg reports favorable outlook for the North Star mine as development accelerates. Mortis Quain, William West, and James Latin head to Niggercreek for Payroll claim work with a 50 foot tunnel planned. Dave ONeil of Spokane arrives to oversee Palmers Bar interests and likely push development this season.
