Runge and Richard Roschl. In 1902, the Tonopah Gold Mountain Mining Company bought the claims. Jim Butler, founder of Tonopah was company president. Not much more than leasing activity took place for the next 10 years. In 1910, George Wingfield and H.C. Brougher formed the Tonopah Divide Mining Company and gained control of the old claims. 11.5" x 7.75" x 3". 2) "MONARCH-PITTSBURGH MINING COMPANY".
