Mine and Hanna Prideaux visit Dillon amid mine sale talks
Captain Henry Prideaux, superintendent of the Lone Pine and Dewey’s Flat operations, met L. A. Fyhrie in Dillon to discuss buying horses for ore haulage from Lone Pine to a mill at the Flat. The mill is idle due to bad roads but work resumes next week as the mine shows multiple promising leads and inexhaustible ore. The Helena and Frisco mine sale to a large English syndicate nears completion with papers in attorney hands and a rumored sixty day bond for 4,500,000 and potential dividends for years to come.
