[2] The original 843 acres of claims were purchased by Ellis P. Earle from the Ferland Syndicate.
At its peak, the mine had ten shafts working three veins, the Kendall, Meyer and Fourth of July.
Additionally, it used hydraulics to strip the overburden and employed an aerial tramway.
The mine continued to operate during the 1920s by harvesting remnants and areas overlooked during the early boom years.
With the onset of the Great Depression, the price of silver collapsed and the mine became uneconomic.
