Box 115, Chloride,Ariz. April 3,1943

Pardon nly d.elay in answering your letter of l\larcl! 23, but

I have been very busy with other matters

rrhe Indium property you sneak of . s the Twentieth Century,

formerly ovv-nec1 by my uncle, the late George A.Beebe, of Chloride. The prop-

ert y lies 3 miles in a southeasterly direction from Chloride. rr here VIere

originally five claims in the group but vThen the propert y was purchased

by VI • .:.) .Murray, four olaims were a cLcted for water rlghts . The property

was pvrchased for ~~ 40,000 in 1926 by VJ.S .Murr8Y, a ch0.mical eng ineer of

UtiID'a, N . Y . The property was patented in 1936 or 1937, t.he S1 rveying ii/ark

being done by 1108ol!'oster of Kingruan , .Arizona. II'he work drone on the prop-

erty consists of a 300 f shaft , a t1lJlll--1le1 on the vein 260 feet with drifts

on the 100 , 200 and 300 foot levels e I\Sr e I';[urray set up an experimental

p ant in Kinr:man and by electrolytic process recovered the ind.ium from

the fUli18S, I belleve. I understand that the present sU-:lply is coming from

the sInal ter in Great }j'al1s, I:dontana . ste,.\rart r.ehompson, whofor l1 l8 i"ly was

representative of Hr .Mlll"ray told me last sUI.-:Jner that he believod that

Anaconda nov1 ovrned the 20th . Century. However som.e years ago the Indi um

Corporation of America VIp, s formed and some of the officers vvere also offi-

cers of the CoyrJjJl"LUlity Silver P JJlte Co. of Oneida , N.Y. )\·1r . Murr8Y v.Then " "if . , . ., ':/

last here said that he had nerfected a nrocess to treat bearings that

gave them longor li.fe through the u '-: e of Indium. Lately the Indium Cor '

poration of J-Dneri c a was avvarded both the Army Rnd Navy E fla8s for ex-

cellence in production. No vlorlc has been done on the 20th Cent10 ry

since it 'VV8.S °i) atented ~ I look after the property for N:r • 11homi) son vl[ho
