Note: Sherman Lead Company was created from the reorganization of the Sherman Development Company in 1918 w/Eugene R. Day the majority stockholder. SLCo thus became a subsidiary of Tamarack & Custer Consolidated Mining Co for which Day had controlling interest. Lead production was spotty throughout the '20s and '30s; however, the war effort provided consistent income through 1947 when SLCo was consolidated with other Day interests to form Day Mines, Inc..
