Back From Korea A Boise Miner Reports on Korean Mines
Mike Gallagher, a former Boise Basin mining man, returns home from Korea to describe mining there. He says ore carries about $10 per ton values, labor costs 15 to 40 cents daily, engineers up to 74 cents plus board, and that large English, German, Italian, and French concessions exist. The Korea operation employs about 10,000 locals with 50 white supervisors, five stamp mills, and plans to expand.
