This collection is in
English.
The Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company was incorporated on July
24, 1912, under Nevada law, with an authorized capital stock of 2,000,000 shares at
par value of $1.00 each. Tamarack & Custer was formed by the merger of two
separate but jointly managed mining companies operating adjacent properties between
Tiger Peak and Custer Peak near Gem, Idaho: the Tamarack & Chesapeak Mining
Company and the Custer Consolidated Mining Company. Both of these firms were already
controlled by the Day interests, whose Hercules mine adjoined the Custer on the
east.
The two properties were located such that neither could operate without involving the
other in possible boundary disputes; the Days had concluded that ore could not be
extracted economically without unified management. Legal disputes over ownership of
the Tamarack & Chesapeak claims, which had already kept that mine closed for
over three years, delayed consolidation for some years further.
Jerome Day was the Tamarack & Custer's president, manager, and treasurer from
1912 until his death in 1941. He was followed in these capacities by Henry Lawrence
Day, who had been assistant manager since 1930. Frank Rothrock, Paul Jessup, S.F.
Heitfeldt, Wray Farmin, John Wourms, and Eleanor Day Boyce all served for extended
periods on the Tamarack & Custer board of directors.
Over $600,000 was invested in development work in the first year after consolidation.
World War I brought soaring metal prices and the Tamarack & Custer
flourished. Production was centered at the east fork of Nine Mile Canyon around the
No. 4 and 5 adits. A tramway system in Burke Canyon carried the ore to the newly
purchased Frisco (concentrating) Mill. After a post-war shutdown, lead and zinc ore
production increased steadily. New discoveries were made in Tunnel #2 at the 1200
foot level in 1925. Three years later all the equipment was moved to the No. 7, 1200
foot level whose portal faced the Burke Canyon. Losing heavily in the early
depression years, by 1937 the mine again returned profits. A new concentrator
replaced the burned Frisco Mill and during World War II, despite severe labor and
material shortages, the Tamarack & Custer proved a major source of income.
With incorporation into Day Mines, Inc., in 1947, Tamarack & Custer
stockholders received the largest number of shares, 820,000, in the new
conglomerate.
Over the years the Tamarack & Custer Consolidated purchased many nearby
mining firms: Snowy Peak Mining Company, a property of Daniel Brien, former
president of the Tamarack & Chesapeak, acquired in 1912; Sherman Lead
Company, controlled through stock ownership after 1918; Hutton Mining Company,
purchased in 1933; the Black Jack mine, purchased from Boyce and Callahan interests
in 1937; Puritan Mining Company, purchased in 1939; and the Olympia mine purchased
in 1943. Eventually Tamarack & Custer holdings included 90 claims covering
over 1,000 acres in the Lelande and Placer Center Districts. Some of these other
claims were: Tamarack Fraction, Monroe, Saddle Back, Indus, Crown Point, Tamerlain,
Carbon, Fairview, October, Tuesday, Marion, and Hemlock lodes.
Depleted in 1957 by then current technology, working of the Tamarack & Custer
site was thereafter limited to lessees.
The records of the Tamarack & Custer Mining Company span the years 1907 to
1948, with the bulk of the material covering the years 1912 to 1947. Included are
minutes, bylaws, annual reports and other documents relating to the meetings of
directors and stockholders, correspondence and other records detailing the operation
of the company, stock records, financial records, and information on ore shipments
and production, material concerning supplies and equipment, personnel and payroll
information, and insurance and tax material.
Related materials can be found in the records of the Tamarack & Chesapeak,
the Custer Consolidated and Hercules Mining Companies, and the papers of John H.
Wourms.
The records of the Tamarack & Custer Mining Company were in no discernible
order when received. Therefore, a series order utilizing seven major divisions was
imposed during processing.
The first series contains minutes, bylaws, annual reports of the president and
general manager, and other documents relating to meetings of the board of directors
and stockholders.
The second series, General Correspondence and Related Records, 1907-1947, includes
correspondence, reports, contracts, leases, financial statements, and other records
relating to operation and production of Tamarack & Custer Consolidated
Mining Company. There are files on accidents, child labor laws, mining appraisals,
and insurance compensation. There is correspondence between Tamarack &
Custer officers and Revenal MacBeth relating to Congressional bills and proposals,
manuscripts of Jerome Day and Henry Day's speeches to Congress, and transcripts of
Senate hearings. Several files contain correspondence of state and federal agencies,
such as the Idaho Industrial Accident Board, Idaho State Insurance Fund, U.S. Bureau
of Mines, U.S. Defense Saving Bonds, U.S. Departments of Labor, Treasury, and War;
and the U.S. War Production Board. There is also correspondence with the Idaho State
Chamber of Commerce. Correspondence and related material of the Tamarack Testing
Plant is also included. Arrangement is alphabetical according to subject or name of
correspondent.
The third series comprises stock records consisting of stock ledgers and journals,
and correspondence with stockholders regarding dividends and stock transfers.
Series four, Financial Records, contains general ledgers and journals, cash journals,
monthly trial balance sheets, an accounts receivable ledger and a volume of bank
records which contains details of deposits and withdrawals from the Wallace National
Bank with additional information of distribution of expenses.
Ore Shipment and Production records comprise the fifth series. Included are records
of ore sent from Tamarack & Custer to the Hercules Mill, assay reports from
various mills including ASARCO and the Dorn Mill, and ore settlements. Included with
the settlement sheets are memoranda describing the lots, assay certificates,
correspondence and other related documents
Also included in this series is material related to supplies and equipment. Included
are invoice records and voucher registers. The records relating to electrical power
include monthly lists of meter readings, Jan. 1929-Oct. 1933 (with a cover page
titled, "Frisco Power Plant Daily Report Power Generated . . ."), with interfiled
bills from the Montana Power Co. and correspondence between Tamarack and Idaho Power
Transmission Co. officials and among Tamarack officials regarding the purchase of
power, the terms on which the Tamarack might feed excess power generated into the
transmission network, and the requirements for minimum monthly power purchases under
the joint contract of the Federal, Callahan, Hercules, Tamarack, and Dayrock mining
companies with the Thompson Falls Power Co., predecessor of the Montana Power Co.
There are also inventories of electrical equipment in use and in storage and a
report, Jan. 28, 1930, on the Tamarack company's main underground electrical cable.
Another item is a loose-leaf notebook containing printed copies of United States
patents issued to or acquired by Minerals Separation North American Corporation and
furnished to licensed corporations. The patents relate primarily to the
concentration or separation of ores.
The Personnel Records in series six include payroll journals, time books, time
sheets, daily work and material reports which are Shifter's Daily Reports for both
mine and mill, primarily giving numbers of workers at specific locations; daily
Trainman's Reports, listing supplies delivered and carloads of ore and waste
removed; Daily Summaries giving totals of men on all shifts and ore and waste
removed; and Monthly Summaries of materials used in each specified part of the mine.
Also included are annual accident and injury reports.
The final series contains Insurance and Tax material. The items relating to insurance
are appraisements of the mine and equipment and a policy register.
Tax records relate to federal, Idaho state, and Shoshone County taxes, including
returns, annual statements, balance sheets, work sheets, and other records.
Removal of cancelled stock certificates, returned assessment notices, vouchers and
paid checks, bank statements, and duplicate reduced the bulk of this collection by
20 cubic feet.
The records of the Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Company are part of
the records of Day Mines, Inc., donated to the University of Idaho by Henry Day in
1984 and 1985.
Initial processing of this Manuscript Group was done under the direction of Richard
Davis in 1987 and 1988.
