The people listed below were connected to the area of the Wrangell Garnet Ledge either as a claimant or connected to the Alaska Garnet Mining & Manufacturing Co.
In addition, I have added people connected to mining in Arizona where Anna E. Durkee and Mary T. Elmer were involved in a mining operation of the Dardanelles Mining Co. which reorganized as the Dardanelles Amalgamated Mines, Inc.
If you have information, photographs, etc. of anyone listed here and would be willing to share it, please contact me.
