Four albumen cabinet photographs, sized 3.9 x 4.9 in., mounted on thick studio board stock, sized 4.25 x 5.25 in., w/ all four containing manuscript annotations in ink on versos (minor dustsoiling, edgewear, minor over-exposure to a couple images), still a nice grouping with consistent contrast and definition. These scarce original albumen photos show the canyon, water fall power, and miners along the Hoodoo Quartz Claim, Mineral Survey No. 403A and B, which was filed originally in 1892, and are neatly numbered 3, 6, 15 & 11. The first image shows a heavily forested canyon with creek running through, and annotations on verso detailing that the "Anaconda and Roman Senator lodes at the head of gulch." The second photo shows fast running water fall and creek -- "water power that will be utilized in the development of the Stilliguamish [sic] and Sultan Mining Co's property. Copper Lake Canyon." Third photo depicts gold miners carrying and working with pick axes in "Hoodoo Canyon 500 feet higher up. . . the vein is found in the bed of the gulch at this point." The series of mines developed by the Stillaguamish & Sultan Mining Co. had a well-defined fissure vein, carrying iron and copper pyrites and pyrrhotite, with bell metal, all contained in a lime quartz gangue. The main tunnel was driven 420 feet on the Hoodoo ledge, with about another 200 feet of tunneling, ore concentrate worth about $83 a ton, including gold, silver and copper ores. The description on back of four describes "passageway where work was shot away for approach to Hoodoo tunnel. The snow banks in the distance and at the right are at the foot of Big Four Mountain. . . seen plainly from Monte Cristo 8 miles East." By 1905 the company was largely dormant, and later the mines would be owned by the Sykes Estate, of which the Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago was the trustee. See: L.K.
