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.
Thomas Cruse was a placer gold miner who had made his fortune in Marysville at the Drumlummon Mine.
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....
The corner stone, of Indiana Bedford limestone, was laid on October 4, 1908. Mr. A.O. Von Herbulis of Washington, D.C., was chosen to be the architect for the Cathedral. The architectural style of the building is modeled in its general lines after the gothic Votive Church in Vienna. The two tower doors of equal size are 8 feet wide and 11 feet 6 inches high. They are crowned with three rims of arches, delicately carved in oak leaf, and resting on graceful columns. Majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the Warren Street sidewalk and these are topped by gold-leafed crosses which measure 6 by 12 feet. In the north belfry there are the chimes of 15 handcast bells weighing thousands of pounds. The project was completed in time for service on Christmas Day 1914.
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 -
RE: SMNPF Market cap $63,850,954.- its about what only one of their mills would cost in redevelopment -
the rest of the infrastructure development - since 100yrs back etc. about Galena Mine and many more silver and gold mines - with many deep shafts - would cost much more - in the billions - than the low market cap @ current development cost - gold and silver pm and base metal reserves etc. - all 100's miles of underground working etc. etc. - all for free - still SMNPF sitting on many millions in cash also etc.
we are now only 6-7 weeks from the breakthrough happening for the company. In value terms Relief Canyon will constitute 60-65% of the companys revenues.
so everyday is a ”de-risking” day for the ”easiest mine the team has built” according to Darren Blasutti.
And NO MATTER what gold- and silverprice do the coming days (unless it really plunges down of course), there will be a substantial reevaluation of Americas gold and Silver!!!
