Historical Context
The Tonopah Belmont Development Company was founded by Tasker Oddie. Though the company was incorporated in New Jersey, the company owned 162 acres adjoining the Montana Tonopah and Tonopah Mining properties.
The company also held leases on property in British Columbia, the Bull Moose and Biddlecome mines near Carrara. In 1916-17, the Exploration Department examined 53 properties and secured options on the Eagle Shawmut mine in Tuolumne, California, the Emma mine in San Juan, Colorado and several smaller properties east of Belmont.
In 1918, the company had its ore processed at the 60 stamp mill of the Belmont Milling Company. The company owned the mill at Millers and was dismantling it for transport and erection at Tuolumne. Millers is located about 20 miles northwest of Tonopah where just a few buildings stand today. The 1918 Mines Handbook states, “Management is highly efficient and publishes results in great detail.” This is a compliment to the officers and production staff for most of the mining companies offered as little information as possible.
The company was based in Tonopah.
