Dislikes Court Processes In Idaho Gold Mine Venture
Joe Darrah travels from Stanley Basin to Shoshone as a witness in a case that is not heard and returns to his mine. The property, described as highly successful, features 60 feet of ore expecting about 40 dollars per ton milled. An expert valuates it at five million dollars if located in Colorado. Equipped with a 4 20 lamp mill and a cyanide plant, it anticipates a 95 percent clean-up of gold values, with tailings largely recovered. The mill will close for winter due to remote location, with a view to a notable Idaho operation next year.
