Tom Hebert

Another of the Cobalt discoverers.
He found the big one:
"Tom Hebert, a French-Canadian working on the railroad, prevailed on the geologist to examine a vein Hebert had found in the face of a cliff Miller reported:..."silver was lying in profusion at the base of the cliff." Hebert's discovery became the richest silver mine in the Cobalt camp and one of the most productive in the world. Affectionately labeled as "Big Nip," this mine yielded more than 91 million ounces of silver over 40 years of production."
