LMUD Presents: This Day in Susanville History – April 19, 1934

Claim is Leased Near Susanville
April 19, 1934

Dr. W. B. Thomas, former Nevada and California broker, and Ed R. Philips of Los Angeles have leased a claim on Diamond Mountain from George McDow.

The partners plan to begin operations immediately. They intend to operate a full claim and have started to build a road to the portal of the tunnel. The surface ores gave such values that they have stated that they will operate 365 days a year.

Phillips has spent the past three years in the Diamond Mountain section prospecting. Thomas and Philipsā€™ plan is to start four men working immediately, and their ore will be run at the custom mill that is to be erected on the mountain in the near future.
