History
Little information is available regarding the life of Charles F. McClure. It is known that he was a resident of Boston in the 1860s and 1870s, and involved at that time in various mining operations in North America as an agent and/or investor. From his correspondence with mine managers and engineers he was obviously familiar with mining techniques and technology. Much of his focus seemed to be on operations in Waverley, N.S., which was dominated in its early years by the highly speculative gold mining industry. In 1865 McClure was reportedly an agent for the Taylor Gold Mining Company, and purchased free claims there. He was also associated with the Waverley Gold Mining Company and the North American Gold Mining Company, which also mined in Waverley.
