 Shooting pains in both arms and severe breathlessness then told her that she was above the silver vein, which was afterwards found at the spot indicated.

The Alaska citizen., 1912-04-08

The mine, in addition to it's rat ing as the nucleus of the great quartz camp that Fairbanks Is in evitably destined to be, is a monu- ment to the pluck, perseverance and faith of MT. Rhoads, who. practical ly unaided, developed it to the ex- tent that clearly demonstrated it's great value and proved beyond a doubt to the skeptical that quartz in paying quantities WAS to be found in the Fairbanks district.
 It was in 1908 that MT. Rhoads To- cated the property and fer many a long month he worked unaided with out even the assurance that finan- cial backing would be forthcoming if it were needed. His optimism and belief in the property kept him steadily at work in the face of many discouragements, the lead frequently being lost in the tunnel he was driving. From time to time mill runs were made in town at the little mill and in Cinema, the ore running from ST to s250 and averaging s120 to the ton. The greatest depth at tained in the mine is in the winze. which has cover of about 200 feet.
