The 1907 mining season in Custer County saw strong output despite copper price slumps, led by White Knob in Mackay now under Empire Copper Co with 1.2 million capital, and Lost Packer at Loon Creek, which operated a 100-ton smelter producing high grade matte. Additional activity included Loon Creek placers and hydraulic plans, with Yankee Fork district’s Golden Sunbeam mine expanding with new mills and a 30-man workforce.
The mine shows underground rich pay channels and wide open cuts with free gold values of 10 to 12 dollars per ton on the best course. Samples yield coarse native gold at 25 to 50 cents per pound, with gold near 39 or 10 dollars per ounce. Silver is found in upper workings, and bonanza assays are reported along the strike for several hundred feet. The region features volcanic rhyolite andesite geology, abundant water power sites, and timbered terrain.
