This is a ledger for banking from the Northport Smelting and Refining Company. It's in rough but readable shape. The Northport Mining and Smelting Company, predecessor to the Northport Smelting and Refining Company, was incorporated in Washington state in June 1898, with offices in Spokane. The original officers were C.H. MacKintosh, president; Weldon B. Heyburn (later U.S. senator from Idaho), vice-president and solicitor; and Edwin Durant, treasurer and secretary. The trustees of the company immediately authorized purchase of mining property on La Fleur Mountain in Stevens County, Washington, and in March of the following year authorized purchase of smelting plant and property from the Le Roi Mining and Smelting Co. on the bank of the Columbia River, near Northport, Washington. No capital stock records have survived from the Northport, but it seems it was created by the Le Roi company, a Canadian firm. It and its successor, Northport Smelting and Refining, were under Le Roi's control until sold to the Day interests in 1915. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
