    From Mining Tycoons In The Age Of Empire, 1870-1945: Whitaker Wright made a name for himself speculating in Pennsylvania oil and moved west in 1879 to Leadville, Colorado.
    Papers described him as representing Philadelphia capitalists, on the lookout for promising mining properties.
    Wright purchased a series of claims adjoining a famous Leadville mine and floated the claims as the Denver City Consolidated Silver Mining Company.
    Very little silver ore was ever brought to the surface.
