Wall Street Mining Firm May Link To Hecla Vein
Fred Kratzer of Spokane, secretary and major stockholder of Wall Street Mining, visited Wallace to settle business and meet old associates. The firm owns 17 claims northeast of the Morning and southeast of Hecla, with a 1200 foot cross cut trial tunnel that failed to reach the vein but recent digging suggests the vein lies within reach at about 600 feet deep. Kratzer believes the Wall Street vein extends the Hecla vein to the east.
