Old Stone Cabin Mine
|
October 21, 1935: Encouraging reports continue to come from the Wild Rose property. A road is being constructed to the Lincoln Highway a short distance from Dayton.
January 4, 1936: Secretary Nachtweih reports that the fifth and sixth carloads (railroad cars) have been shipped from the Wild Rose Mine. Car 5 carried 54 tons and car 6 carried 51 tons. It is expected to yield $25 a ton or $2,600. He also reports a cross-cut tunnel is being driven to reach the first ledge at a depth of 135 feet. There is about 45 feet to go. He says that considerable snow has fallen, but they have been able to keep the road open.
March 28, 1936: The Wild Rose reported that it has shipped 360 tons of ore yielding $9,345.
April 15, 1936: The Wild Rose, owned by the Old Stone Cabin Mines, seems to be a magnet to field engineers who have been taking samples for different companies. IT is expected that the property will sell in a few weeks.
April 22, 1936: John C. Higgins has been granted an option to buy controlling interest of the twelve claims of the Wild Rose Mine. The ground was located over 10 years ago by Meiklejohn. He finally hit pay dirt last year. Within the boundaries of the mine are eight large veins.
July 1, 1936: A fast pace is being set at the Wild Rose. Two shifts are currently working the mine. At the same time a new road is being built.
July 22, 1936: All work has been suspended on the Wild Rose claim. No reason was given to the men when they were laid off.
November 18, 1936: The Wild Rose Mine has a new leaser in L. D. Gordon. The Wild Rose is located in the Rosedale Mining District.
In typical Nevada mining style, there seems to have been much more hype than substance. a later article says that Higgins worked the claim for three months - only - and couldn't find a way to make it pay.

Roy Potter: This paper confirms that Roy Potter has purchased 1,000 shares of stock. So, I wonder, does Ray Potter really have anything to do with the Wild Rose Mine and the Old Stone Cabin Mines Company???
January 5, 1935: The paper says that Roy Potter was in from the property of the Stone Cabin Mine at Como. He is staying at the Golden Hotel. Many other articles confirm that he was living in Dayton with his wife and children.
I guess that answers the question. Roy Potter was indeed somehow connected to the Old Stone Cabin Mines Company.
