1880--1983
Prospector: his discovery of copper traces near the Quebec's eastern Gaspe peninsula in 1909
led to the Noranda Mines making the Gaspe Copper Mines in 1950s.
Anecdote: He found the copper and understood it, when saw them at the York River
while working on railroad ties.
Went prospecting again on the York river... on a grueling quest.
In 1921: discovered Copper Mountain.
Got to see it developed in 1968. Then it started going.
Got to see it become one of Canada's biggest mining operations.
