TIP GAVE HER A FORTUNE St. Paul Woman Bought a Gold Mine and Grew Wealthy From the St. Paul News. “I can’t see why a woman cannot run a gold mine just as well as a man,” declared Miss Anna Durkee, one of the foremost women mine owners of the world, discussing her experience. “If a man were successful in his investments as I have been, nothing would be thought of it,” she continued. “But because I am a woman there is a great commotion over it.” Miss Durkee, on a tip, purchased for an insignificant sum two years agar gold mining property near Oatman, Ariz. that today is valued in several figures.

New York, June 20 (1922) Special Correspondence Eighteen years ago Miss Anna E. Durkee sold life insurance; today she is a controlling factor in some 20 mining properties in Arizona and principal stockholder in the Alaska Garnet Company, a million-dollar corporation, operating a garnet mine in Alaska, nine miles from Wrangell. How she accomplished her success she has explained to a representative of The Christian Science Monitor. Miss Durkee will soon leave New York for Arizona on her way to her home in California. She has spent some time here in financing her latest enterprise, a going gold and silver mine in Mohave County, Arizona. She organized a company for this venture and had it incorporated in Arizona as the Dardanelles Mining Company, of which she is business manager. |
