The Moon-Anchor mine is owned by the Moon-Anchor Consolidated Gold Mines (Limited), of London, capitalized at Β£2,000,000, and comprises the Little Anna Rooney, New Moon, and parts of the Anchor and Anchor No.2 claims. The property was originally owned by the Moon-Anchor Gold Mining Company and was sold to the English corporation in 1899. Ore was first shipped from the Anchor claim in the latter part of 1895, and frbm the New Moon in 1896. In the latter year the two mines, hitherto worked by lessees, were combined as the Moon-Anchor, the new company declaring its first dividend in the summer of 1897, and continuing to ship ore up to the transfer of the mine to its present owners.
