Administrative History

The Yerington Consolidated Copper Company (1907-approximately 1946) held fourteen claims in two groups known as the Copper King and Copper Deposit in Nevada.

The company president was Frank J. Hagenbarth; with Windsor V. Rice, vice-president; and M.B. Johnson as the executive secretary. In Nevada, W. C. Orem was manager; J. W. Smith was the superintendent; and Samuel S. Arentz was the local manager. The mine was active between 1907 and 1946, except for a shut-down in 1920.
