Thomas Cruse a gold miner - the owner of The Drumlummon Gold Mine - and he made his fortune mining gold at Drumlummon Marysville -
In 1904, Bishop John Patrick Carroll envisioned building a Cathedral that would be a fitting monument to our Father God - a tribute to the Diocese and the city of Helena.
This was a project that had been dear to the heart of Bishop Brondel, the first bishop in Helena.
In 1905, the land for the Cathedral was purchased by Thomas Cruse.
He was the largest single contributor to the Cathedral project, although there were many contributors throughout western Montana as the community raised this beautiful structure....
THOMAS CRUSE
The Cathedral of St. Helena shown under construction, ca. 1910. Local mining magnate Thomas Cruse (1836 - 1914) provided much of the funding to build the church. Construction began in 1908. It was dedicated in 1914, and consecrated in 1924.
The St. Helena Cathedral is open year-round, from 10:00am - 4:00pm. Daily Mass is held in the Day Chapel on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00am; and on Tuesday and Thursday, 5:20pm. Pre-arranged guided tours take 1 hour.
history often repeat itself -
Richest Golden Hill on Earth - still here like yesterday - Move On - Au get moving - hard to wait -
Ps. the drill result I see @ the Drumlummon Gold Mine @ shallow levels are some of the richest I seen - btw. ex. many year ago; I was a shareholder in Dickenson gold corp. which is the Goldcorp Inc. today and the management wanted to shut down The Red Lake Gold Mine and said it was outmined, we had mined it down to about 3000' level at about 0.3 oz/t - I stayed with Rob McEwen who took a drillrig to the bottom of the mine and we hit above 1/oz/t and today Red Lake Gold Mine its one of the richest and lowest cost gold mines in Ontario, Canada - the rest is history. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=86256231 I would love to see Drumlummon gold result about 3000' depth
