Hecla’s management team, Burke, Idaho, ca. 1901. Left to right: Fremont Rowe, Doc Evans, Ed Torkelson, Chet Lawrence, Charles Foreman, Pete Ratoni, Ed “Spud” Murphy, Bert Sloan. Burke was the location of the original Hecla mine (as well as the Hercules and the Star); at its height, as many as 1,400 people lived along its single street at the bottom of Burke Canyon. On the cover, a 1927 photograph of workers from the Hecla mine is juxtaposed with a 2015 photo of miners at Hecla’s newest operating property: the Casa Berardi gold mine in Quebec.
