Noonday Shipper Reports First Ore Carload From Local Mine
The first carload of Noonday ore is being hauled to a smelter. The ore contains native silver and gray copper, with zinc not sufficient for a payable penalty. A lease and bond were secured by McM. Benedam and Stewart Bros from McNicoll, Swenser, and Rathcliffe for 55 000, running eighteen months. Works include a tunnel, a growing ore body, and plans to expand the workforce. The Noonday mine near Silverton could become a major local producer, while nearby Comstock Mines face shutdowns and wagon-road issues.
