Biographical Note
Roy Clarke came to Spokane Falls in the 1880s with his parents. He graduated from the
University of California at Berkeley and went to work for the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
Mining Company, where he served as an engineer and mine manager. As with so many mining
engineers, his work took him all over the western United States, Mexico, and British
Columbia. He served as president of the Northwest Mining Association, 1934-1936, and was
active in the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, ca. 1900-1943.
Clarke died as a result of a fall while he was inspecting a mine in the Coeur d’Alene
district in northern Idaho.
The collection includes personal and professional correspondence, 1898-1943, and mining
survey notes for operations in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Colorado, British
Columbia, and Quebec, 1898-1940. Also included are records from various businesses in Post
Falls, ID in which Clarke was a partner, 1889-1905.
The papers of Robert E. Clarke, father of Roy, 1848-1904; and papers of George H. Clark,
1846-1885, are included.
