material in Elk Gulch, In the Southern
Hills. 1t was not discoyered in place
until in June, 1883, when Major A. J:
Simmons, of Rapid, sent specimens from
the Eta mine, 2 miles south of Key
stone, to San Francisco for determine
ton. The Eta claim was at that time
being prospected for mica. Sh hortly
afterward tin was found in place at Mig.
ger Hill, since called linton, but at that
time well known for its rich gold placers,
part of which had been discovered by
colored men, whence the hill received
its name.
Owing to the lack of commercially
valuable tin deposits in this country,
great interest was awakened among both
commercial and scientific men by the
discovery. The former soon began plans
for the exploitation of the deposits,
while the latter studied the minerals
and other phenomena connected with
the occurrences, and the presence of
wolframite and tantalite was soon deter
mined. Companies were formed, and
for about 10 years there was great activ-
ity, though little production of tin.
Since 1904 there has been much less
done, and only two companies are now
engaged in an earnest effoft to mine tin,
one at Hill City and one at linton.
No Wolframite is known to have been
mined until number of years after the
discovery of tin, when it was found in
greatly different association and of much
dissimilar appearance at Lead.
The value of Tantalum was unknown
at that time. In fact it had little or no
value beyond furnishing specimens for
collections and material for a small
amount of experimental work, 80 that
for number of years nothing was done
toward saving the material except as it
occurred in large Jumps. The invention
of the tantalum lamp gave an impetus
to the demand in 1904 and 1905, since
which time the market has been light.
