Montana Tractors Seen Doubling Farm Use in Five Years

Heinze’s Maple Leaf Claim Strikes Copper and Gold
The Maple Leaf property in Stevens county Washington has made a major strike of copper and gold ores. It was one of the final bets of F Augustus Heinze. Spokane miners restaked the claims after Heinze abandoned them, driving a 1000 foot tunnel without finding value, then succeeding with a drift to a rich ore ledge. Hard luck and irony mark the tale as Heinze neared financial collapse.
