The Buclimo Mine - Named for Seven Partners

· 1887 onwards

Burman, Ulrich, Clinton, Linderman, Isenman, Morey and Olsen — seven partners, one mine name: Buclimo.

The Buclimo Mine was named for seven partners who bought it from Jim Krenkel and Billy Cruikshank in 1887: Burman, Ulrich, Clinton, Linderman, Isenman, Morey and Olsen. Using their initials, the Buclimo Corporation was formed. The mine took out a fortune in gold until they struck such quantities of water they had to quit, lacking equipment to pump at such depth.
