Active in Mining

iSof'cht'+ III Hioohds libIu lS' to 1916. MT Thane was actively engaged in gold mining and at. tained the foremost ranks in his profession as mining engineer However, he turned to the pro- noting end good deal and in terested some of the largest min ing capital in the country in the development of the Juneau gold belt.
 Some seven years ago. he di- reeted his attention to the de- yelopment of pulp and paper manufacturing industry for the utilization of water power pro- Jects and other facilities built iup here by his company. It was very largely due to his personal efforts that capital was interested in local resources for that in- dustry and he. was occupied in undertaking to advance the early establishment of manufacturing plants in this vicinity until death ended his efforts. His last visit to Juneau, in the summer of 1926, was made in company with a party of pulp and paper en- gineers representing California interests who later bid in Ia large tract of timber in this' district and who are conducting investi- gations on which to base a plan of construction and development.
 Came North in 1897
 As junior in the School of Mines of the University of Cali fornia, MT. Thane first came to Alaska in 1897. He worked one year in the mines at Sum Dunn for the Sum Dunn Mining Com pany of which H. T. Tripp was then General Manager. At the end of his year, he returned to school and received his degree as mining engineer.
 He returned to Alaska then and again worked in the Sum Dunn mines. In 1901. on the recommendation of MT. Tripp, he was given the position of Super intendent of the Ebner mine here, and that year went for a short visit to San Francisco where he was married, returning here at once with his bride. Ex- cept for trips made to the States and abroad oil business, he resid- ed here until 1916, when he moved with his family to Cali fornia. residing in San Francisco ana Berkeley since that time.
 Goes to Eagle River
 i. From the Ebuer mine, MT Thane went to Eagle River where he had charge of the operations of the Eagle River Mining Com pany. Later he promoted fhe de- velopment of properties at Bern CTS Bay, bringing about the or ganization of the Kensington Gold Mining Company in which he interested the Haydon < Stone interests.
 Shortly after this. in 1909, he became actively interested in the present Thane development. Max ing a trip to London, he secured control of the Perseverance prop erty and. returning to New York he successfully financed the de- yelopment with the backing of Hayden X Stone and Col. D. C Jaokling.
 He was made general manager of the Alaska Gastineau Company
