The Montgomery-Shoshone mine was located by E A Montgomery near Rhyolite, Nevada in 1904 and became nationally known because Bob Montgomery once boasted he could take $10,000 a day in ore from the mine. It was later owned by Charles Schwab, who purchased it in 1906 for a reported $2 to 6 million. The Montgomery Shoshone Consolidated Mining Company was made up of the original Montgomery Shoshone, the Shoshone Polaris, and the Crystal Bullfrog mines.
