Engineer, B.C. was located 20 miles south of Atlin on Tayish Lake on the W.P. and Yukon Railway.
The Engineer Mine is located on the eastern shore of Taku Arm, part of Tagish Lake, in northern British Columbia near BC’s borders with the Yukon Territory and Alaska. It is in the Atlin Mining District of British Columbia about 32 km west of Atlin. Transport in and out of the mine site is usually through Atlin, BC and Carcross, Yukon, by air, barge or ice road. The history of the Engineer Mine property dates back to 1899 when a couple of Swedish prospectors located a yellow metal on the shores of Tagish Lake. The early history of the Engineer Mine is closely associated with Captain James Alexander who, by all accounts, was an interesting character. James Alexander immigrated to Canada, from England, in 1899, drawn by the romantic wilderness life of British Columbia. By 1912, Alexander had sole ownership of the Engineer Mine and systematically explored and mined the property. The property was finally taken over in 1923 by a New York group and production from Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. began in 1924. Advances at this time were the most significant that the property had seen yet. They included the development of a town site, installation of a power plant on the Wann River with transmission lines to the mine, construction of a concentrator and mill on the lakeshore near the 5 Level portal, and development of the underground tunnels down to 8 Level. Over 140 people were employed at the site. Visible gold detection was the primary method used to identify and follow ore shoots in veins. Reserves were exhausted by 1927, but development continued with drifting and limited mining until 1933. Link to the complete article - www.davidkjoyceminerals.com/pagefiles/articles_engineermi...

There has been no production at Engineer since 1952. Many juniors companies and prospectors have come and gone since then. The most recent was Ampex mining, but they too have left the area. Today the company BC Gold owns the Engineer mine. Link to the complete article - lostmines.net/engineer-mine.html

Lucile H. Cordrey
b. 14 March 1895 in California
d. 15 May 1980 in San Francisco, California
She lived with her parents at the 730 - 2nd Ave, San Francisco address for many years. Her father, Grant Cordrey was in the banking business in San Francisco. Her mother Anne P. Cordrey was a philatelist - she was a member of the "THE AMERICAN PHILATELIST" (#1939) stamp club as far back as 1910.
Link to a postcard that was sent to her mother in 1913 - localhistory.richlandlibrary.com/digital/collection/p1681...
Message on postcard reads: You must make this trip some day. Perfectly beautiful. Love Ruth (she was referring to the area which is shown on the front of the postcard)
This was most likely Ruth (Swetland) / Macomber (b. 8 August 1895 - d. January 1980 in Washington State) who was a relative of Lucile H. Cordrey.
The Richland Library Foundation is pleased to announce that Tamara King has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the Ethel Bolden Minority Scholarship during a presentation and ceremony on October 17 at Richland Library in downtown Columbia, SC.
“Ethel Bolden was a consummate advocate and pioneer for library services to African-American children,” said Richland Library Foundation Chair Lee Rambo. “She worked diligently for 40 years to promote reading and establish excellence in library services. Tamara’s dedication and enthusiasm are a natural continuation of Mrs. Bolden’s efforts to make our community a learning center.”
King has more than a decade of experience in broadcast journalism and public relations. While pursuing her lifelong dream to obtain a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina, she started a successful adult literacy initiative at St. Lawrence Place that is designed to help families in crisis. Upon graduation, she hopes to focus on roles in library management, diversity outreach, and program development.
“When I learned Tamara was interested in pursuing a MLIS, I whole heartedly encouraged her as her energy, commitment to service, and skill set is exactly what we need in our profession,” said Denise Lyons, Director of Library Development for the South Carolina State Library. “She has a sincere way of connecting to people no matter the circumstances.”
The Richland Library Foundation established the Ethel Bolden Minority Scholarship in 2010 in honor and recognition of Mrs. Ethel Bolden’s years of service to the Richland County community and its libraries.
The $2,500 scholarship seeks to encourage and provide financial support to students from underrepresented ethnic and racial groups who are working toward the completion of a Master of Library and Information Science degree at the University of South Carolina.
