The mine s founders were Alexander Aiken, John B. Pearson and Jonas Stough. They were camped on Flint Creek and their horses had drifted off. In tracking them to this location, the men were led to the discovery of the Mining mine . Machinery for the first Stamp mill mill was imported from Swansea, Wales , and moved by wagon team from Corinne, Utah , the nearest railroad terminal. In the 19th century, mining was irregular. The town which grew up around the mine, Cable, Montana , boomed and busted four distinct times 1867 1869, 1873 1878, 1883 1891 and 1902 1940. The AtlanticCableQuartzLode mine was operated with varying success until about 1880, when extremely rich ore was located. A 500 foot piece of ground produced 6,500,000 in gold . William Andrews Clark W.A. Clark paid 19,000 for one chunk of ore taken from this mine in 1889 and claimed it was the largest gold nugget ever found. In 1902, two brothers cleaned up the mine and obtained 18,000 from the first clean up. By 1906, three shifts a day were running in the mill. By 1940, the mine was inactive and has remained that way.

Orphan date October 2008 Fruit Quartz is the general trade term for a group of colorful, translucent materials which are individually known by fruit like names such as cherry quartz , blueberry quartz , strawberry quartz , kiwi quartz , pineapple quartz , and so on. They are commonly carved into jewelry components such as beads or pendants or into decorative objects. Despite the quartz part of their name, they are not natural stone despite sometimes being mistaken or miscalled as such. Instead, they are synthetic materials that are essentially a form of glass . An oddity of these synthetic fruit quartzes is that when closely examined, their colors are concentrated in the form of translucent or opaque inclusions within a transparent colorless matrix. Like goldstone , their production method precludes directly casting the material into small, detailed shapes, which instead must be created by physically carving them from larger rough blocks. Although similar looking and similarly named varieties of natural quartz do exist, they are comparatively very rare and expensive. The bright color of genuine strawberry quartz is accentuated by small seedlike inclusions of lepidocrocite and hematite . Genuine pineapple quartz comes from Antsirabe, Madagascar, and is a form of citrine with an unusual growth pattern of crystals around its sides similar to pineapple fruit.
