- History / Biographical
- In 1906, James Cronin bought claims Pyrite, Perth, Emporium, Democrat, Copper Cliff and Copper King in the Ainsworth Mining District, near Copper Creek, in West Kootenay, B.C. During the following year, 1907, Cronin registered claims located by him and his foreman, John Bakke, called Goat, Extension of Perth, Noon Shadow, Saturday and Silver Grill. These claims made up the Copper Creek mine. After Cronin’s death in 1925, Rose Cronin Andersen worked to settle her father’s affairs on behalf of her mother, Annie Cronin, to which the claims were left to.
