Biographical Note

The Moorlight Mining Co. was incorporated in Philipsburg, Montana, on July 12, 1918, by John Hickey, Thomas F. Hickey, Charles J. Anderson, Nathan Williams, and W. W. Williams. The Co. was capitalized at $$200,000. the Williams' and Anderson were only briefly involved in the Co.. By 1930 the Co. officers were John Hickey, president and general manager; Thomas Hickey, vice-president; and J. C. Harrah, secretary-treasurer. These three men continued to operate the Co. until the death of John Hickey in September 1945. Within two months the Co. was purchased by the Taylor-Knapp Co..

The Co. operated several silver, zinc, and manganese properties in the Philipsburg area, becoming one of the major producers of manganese ore for batteries. The Co.'s primary mine was the True-Fissure. Other mines, including the Bryant, Climax, Durango, and Headlight mines, were operated under contract and by leasers. During World War II, the Co. became a major producer of manganese ore for the war effort. It employed 50 miners and could have used about 25 more. As the war ended production declined. In November 1945, shortly after the death of its president John Hickey, the Moorlight Mining Co. sold all of its properties to the Taylor-Knapp Co..

Content Description

Records include general correspondence (1921-1945) predominantly with equipment and supply vendors, but also with government agencies, leasers of company mines, charity and social organizations, and friends. During the New Deal era there is correspondence about the National Recovery Administration (NRA) industry codes; during World War II there is considerable correspondence concerning the wartime restrictions on mining and the requirements of getting government approval for buying equipment and supplies.

Acquisition Information

Acquisition information available upon request.

Processing Note

The Moorlight Mining Co. records were received as part of a larger collection of Taylor-Knapp Co. records. The latter Co. was the successor in November 1945. Since the records of the two companies were easily isolated, they have been processed as two separate collections. Correspondence has been arranged in three sets: pre-New Deal Era, New Deal Era, and World War II, since the operations of the Co. were heavily impacted by the economics and politics of those three distinct time periods. Processed in 2011.
