William Hammond Hale diary
Manuscripts
The first five months of this diary were written in Minneapolis (except a week long trip to Washington D.C. for President Roosevelt's inauguration in March). Hale left for the mines on May 24, first stopping at Seattle. He arrived at his father's mine on June 7. Hale spent June through October at the Atlin and Willow Creek Mining Company in Discovery, British Columbia. Hale writes in detail about the mines, his work there, his fellow miners, and his social life. On his way home, Hale stopped at the Coppermount Mine run by the Alaska Copper Company on Prince of Wales Island (another mine in which his family was invested). He spent a month there observing the copper smelting operations. He was back home in Minneapolis for Christmas.
