>Dear listmembers,

>I am trying to locate information about mining in Pioche, Nevada (USA)
between the 1920s-50s. During that time, lead and zinc were the primary
minerals they were mining, instead of the silver of Pioche's boom in the
late nineteenth century. Specifically, I am interested in learning if any
of you know of the Ely Valley Mines, Pioche Mines Company, Pioche Last
Chance Company, and the Tenabo Consolidated Mines Company -- all of which
were owned by a man named John Janney (1877-1967) -- and if you could share
some of your knowledge with me and explain why mining in Pioche during the
first half of the 20th century is significant (or not) in the history of
mining in Nevada and the US West.
