Historical NoteReturn to Top
Incorporated in Arizona in 1912, the Consolidated Interstate-Callahan Mining Company merged the holdings of the former Interstate Silver-Lead Mining Company and the Callahan Mining Company in the Placer Center and Beaver mining districts of Shoshone County, Idaho. The name was changed to the Callahan Zinc-Lead Company in 1920. Its mines were prosperous during World War I, but all closed down between 1923 and 1931. The Monitor Mining Company acquired the firm in August 1945. At that time its holdings consisted of 79 patented and 4 unpatented claims.
