Biographical / Historical

The Baltic Clerk (sometimes referred to as the Chief Clerk) was initially responsible for the Baltic Mine and Mill. Sometime after the Atlantic Mining Company was acquired by the Copper Range Consolidated Company in 1911, he assumed responsibility for the Atlantic properties. In 1930, the position of Trimountain Clerk was eliminated and its duties transferred to the Baltic Clerk.

William C. Cole, Baltic Clerk since 1902, retired in 1932, and the position was eliminated. Remaining duties were taken up by the Chief Clerk of the Copper Range Company.
