ft. level as soon as this point is attained. South drifts are being extended from the Providence shaft toward the Summit claim.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 772, 6-1-1912 “The report of the North Star Mines Co. for the year ended December 31 shows a production in that period of $1,025,088, on which the net profit was $468,681. For purchase of property and development of the Cincinnati Hill mine the company spent $58,065, leaving a balance of $410,616. Income from invested funds and other sources brought the total net receipts to $452,890. The company paid in dividends during the year $425,000. It has an option on the Champion group at Nevada City.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 548, 4-13-1912 “Developments at the Champion group are progressing well and the recently installed pumps in the Champion and Providence shafts are handling the water without difficulty. It is understood the unwatering of the Cahmpion shaft to the bottom level will soon be under way and that vigorous development will follow.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 354, 3-2-1912 “The North Star Mines Co. has commenced the unwatering of the Champion and Providence shafts at the Champion group. The Worthington hoist will shortly be replaced by an electric pump, to be placed in the 1800 ft. level of the Champion, and as soon as the bottom of the 2400 ft. shaft is drained, active development from this point will be started. The north drift from the 100 ft. level of the Champion mine has been reopened.” Mining & Scientific Press, Pg. 222, 2-3-1912 “The North Star Mines Co. declared a Christmas dividend of 8%, making a total of 17% on the capital stock disbursed during the year. The payment in 1910 amounted to 23%. The reduction for the present year is credited to greater depth at which the ore is mined, less production, and heavier operating costs. It is understood the company is planning for the opening of ore in the Massachusetts Hill mine, one of its main holdings. Considerable work has been performed during the year at the Cincinnati Hill group, but results were not altogether satisfactory, according to reports. The company acquired control of the Champion Mine, Nevada City district, and installed machinery, including an electric pump, with a capacity of 750 gallons. The Champion is expected to prove one of the best properties of the company.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 119, 1-13-1912 “The electric conduit to be used at the Champion mine in connection with the electric pumps is now being placed, states a report from Nevada City.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 634, 11-11-1911 “Joseph N. White and William A. Worthington, miners engaged in retimbering the shaft of the Champion mine, were killed on October 10 when John Hooper, hoisting engineer, let a car he was oiling start down the steep inclined shaft without being attached to the cable. Hooper has been engineer at the Champion for ten years.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 534, 10-21-1911 “The North Star Mines Co. has about 100 men employed at the Champion mines, the August disbursement for wages surpassing $6000. This is the largest force employed in the mines for years.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 396, 9-23-1911 “In the main Champion workings considerable development work is progressing. More men constantly are being added to the force, and the North Star people are showing a disposition to conduct work on a broad scale.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 242, 8-191911 “The North Star Mines Co. has placed an order for a large electric pump, to be installed in the Providence shaft of the Champion group. The Providence mine has been one of the most prolific and profitable producers of the group now comprising the Champion holdings. The working force has been increased, 60 men now being on the payroll. Driving from the 1000 ft. level of the Champion shaft will commence shortly, according to reports.: Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 179, 8-5-1911 “The North Star Mines Co., which, through J. M. O’Brien, bought the Champion mines at Nevada City, will drive a drift from the 1000 ft. level, with four or five more at various other stations. The contract for a stamp-mill has been let to the Martin Foundry of Nevada City, but it is said that no attempt will be made to operate the mill until a large quantity of ore 25
