The company wanted the ore worked into pig iron in San Francisco. According to a March 1877 article in the Marysville Daily Appeal, the company was formed to develop a great iron mine near the Bear River Mills, about two miles from Albion Flat and Albion Hill. There was significant iron ore, and a bonus surprise: tellurium. The company had discovered silver ore. The vein was 30 feet thick.
