THE MONITOR MINING COMPANY was incorporated in 1886, with $2,500,000 in capital stock. It was closed corporation made up of very prominent Black Hills mining men including D.A. Mcpherson, president; F.M. Allen, secretary; Seth Bullock (later U.S. Marshall and friend of Teddy Roosevelt); Harris Franklin, prominet cattleman, mayor of Deadwood, and later president of the famous Golden Reward Gold Mining & Milling Company; and George Cassell, who buit one of the first gold mills in the Black Hills. The property consisted of 8 lode claims, 3 placer claims on Deadwood Creek, flumes, water rights and Cassells' 25 ton mill. The gold-bearing ore was a conglomerate or so-called cement ore. They were worked from several tunnels, one a 1,000 feet long. The ore was mined from large chambers, often 20 feet high and 100 feet wide. The values ran from $2 per ton to several hundred dollars per ton. The Monitor is estimated to have produced over $200,000 in gold before it was sold to the Homestake Mining Company in the spring of 1892. The selling price was $20,000. Stock certificates from this company are scarce, since few were issued. The officers and directors were also the majority of the stockholders.
