Richard Gaikowski - Gyke - Random Info
I'm not necessarily LOOKING FOR a lot of info on Gyke, but as long as I run into it while doing other research, I'll stick it on this thread then anyone interested in Gyke or trying to eliminate him or whatever, will have access to this info. Daily Plainsman (Huron, SD) February 1, 1962(Thursday)_______________________________________ The Following Articles Are Interesting as they are telling us where Gyke was at about the time of the Oceanside CA murder of Cabby Ray Davis, April 10, 1962. I'll try to figure out exactly where he was at the time, to see if he was 100% in SD, or not.
The Daily Plainsman (Huron, SD ) March 30, 1962 Friday
there is going to be a meeting on April 7, 1962, which the other articles following will show that gyke actually attended as was in SD on the 7th. I'm trying to find something that tells us where he was on the 10th of April, the date of Cabby murder of Ray Davis, Oceanside CA.
Article April 6, 1962, and also states there is a meeting on the 7th and being he is the chairman, you would think he would be there on the 7th at the meeting? I would think so, so this might tell you where he was in 1962, 3 and 4 days before the murder of Cabby Ray Davis in Oceanside on April 10, 1962. He probably could not get out of SD before the 8th then, 2 days before Davis is killed. Just info. I'm not into researching Gyke all that much.Argus- Leader ( Sioux Falls, SD) April 6 1962 - FridayArgus - Leader (Sioux Falls SD) April 8, 1962, Sunday
So on the 8th it is saying that Gyke did in fact attend the meeting on the 7th( in SD), so that tells me he was in SD on the 7th and most likely would not have been able to leave(if he left, which he probably did not) until the 8th. So let's just say he left on the 8th, that is the 2 days before Cabby Ray Davis is shot in Oceanside, CA. Still not "impossible", so I'll keep looking to see if I can find out where he actually was on the 8th, 9th and 10th.
another article stating he was at the meeting in SD on the 7th of April 1962.

Now this one interests me, Richard Gaikowski, Huron press secretary of the state YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUBHe will be the speaker. (wish we could find that somewhere)who is the YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUBLet me go find out who they are. not sure what they are doing in 1962, but here is something about them The Young Democrats of America (YDA) was founded in 1932 as the official youth arm of the Democratic Party of the United States. YDA operates as a separate organization from the Democratic National Committee; following the passage of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, it became an independent 527 group[2]/"hybrid superPAC". The group's membership consists of Democrats ages 14–36, and its political activities tend to concentrate on increasing the voter turnout of young people and affecting the issues affecting that demographic group. It tends to be somewhat more focused on political activism than the party at large. The Daily Plainsman (Huron, SD) April 29, 1962 Sunday Well interesting - I'm finding them listed with SDS, SNCC and other groups that later on became part of the revolution. Isn't that interesting. Now they might have not started out that way at all. but it is intersting they are listed with sncc and sds. I need to really dig into this and see where they were headed. And it does not mean everyone was like that, but some could have splintered off out of that group. This was at a time in 1962 the sds was not that bad, it was not until later that they splintered and became Weatherman. But it is very interesting that we have this group listed in with the DREAM OF SNCC... that is just hmmmm to me
let me dig and if they are in anyway connected later on to the radical splinter of sds, I'll find it/
_______________
digging...
this is Roseanne Canfora talking about being at Kent state in the riots and the killing of kent state students. At the time she was a member of YOUNG DEMOCRATS, but she said sds was all over always handing out leaflets to them. I know this was happening all over, and many people would end up joining sds. Just to give you an idea how things really got twisted around later on. It would not surprise me if a LOT of he Young Dems ended up joining SDS.
this was 1968, 6 years after gyke is press secretary of the young dems. this is 8 years after sds was started in Michigan. sds was LID before that. Below is at kent state ohio, but this was going on nationwide. And gyke later ends up in california and decides to hang out with black panthers, which of course together with the WEATHERMAN. this is exactly how this all started. Paul Stine is killed on Oct 11, 1969 during the DAYS OF RAGE in chicago by the Weatherman. It's just all flukey. does not mean anything but it certainly is flukey to me. So I'm digging to see if gyke was already on the radical side before he left South Dakota. if so, it might have been the beginning of it for him, during this time in 1962.

Gee I did not intend to start posting about GYKE hahaha
but..... he was working for the Aberdeen Newspaper, why did he quit?
Then he ends up working for the farmer's union... they he is the press secretary for the Young Democrats
Then he is the chairman for the workshop connected to the National Council for Senior Citizens
Seems he is starting down that RIGHTS ROAD.
and then he gets to California and he really gets involved with extreme radicals. That is how it happened to every one of them. hmmm
I'm learning something here about gyke. Let's see where this goes

Rapid City Journal ( Rapid City, SD) October 17, 1964, SaturdayThis is interesting, gives a bit of an idea about gaik and things he thought. All these people are in California now at this time. hmm Homestake Mining Company? what is that doing in there? and the story was originally written by Gaik? Now THAT is really interesting. I want to find that article he wrote about the Mining Company. Very interesting And the mining headquarters is in San Fran. I need to find everything Gaik wrote about that Mining Company and see what he says. We definitely have MINING stuff going on in the Z case. Again, I'm NOT a Gyke person ... but this is interesting. He might have written those articles at the request of someone? hmmm Homestake Mining Company was one of the largest gold mining businesses in the United States and the owner of the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. Founded in 1877, it was acquired by Barrick Gold in December 2001.Homestake was the longest-listed stock in the history of the New York Stock Exchange.HistoryGeorge Hearst, Lloyd Tevis, and James Ben Ali Haggin bought the 10-acre Homestake Mine from its discoverer, Moses Manuel, for $70,000, and incorporated the Homestake Mining Company on November 5, 1877.On January 25, 1879, the company became a public company via an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, the first mining stock ever listed.In 1910 and 1917, the company established hydroelectricity plants. They were sold to the city of Spearfish, South Dakota in 2004.Between 1970 and 1977, Paul C. Henshaw was President of the company.In 1981, the company bought out its partner in its uranium joint venture, United Nuclear Corporation, for $23 million and assumed operation of four uranium mines and one mill.In March 1996, the company exercised its option to buy 34% more of a mine in Bulgaria.In 1997, the company agreed to acquire a majority interest in the Troilus mine from Inmet Mining but backed out of the deal, leading to a lawsuit.In April 1998, the company acquired Plutonic Resources Limited for $640 million, adding mines in Australia.In December 1998, the company acquired the 49.4% of Prime Resources Group that it did not already own.In September 2000, the company announced plans to close the Homestake Mine by January 2002.In December 2001, Barrick Gold acquired the company.George HearstFrom WikiThis article is about the father of William Randolph Hearst.

After growing up on a small farm in Missouri, he founded many mining operations, and is known for developing and expanding the Homestake Mine in the late 1870s in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1879 he listed it on the New York Stock Exchange, and went on to other pursuits. The mine operated continuously, producing gold until 2001.After settling in San Francisco in the early 1860s, Hearst became a politician, first representing San Francisco in the state legislature for one term. He also maintained mining interests through his company. Hearst was appointed as a United States Senator in 1886 to fill a vacancy, and was elected as a Democrat later that year on his own account. He served in the Senate from 1887 to his death in 1891. His only child from his late marriage (at age 40) was son William Randolph Hearst, who became internationally known as a newspaperman and publisher.We know Z mentioned SLA. On February 4, 1974, 19-year-old Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her Berkeley apartment. She was beaten and lost consciousness during the abduction. Shots were fired from a machine gun during the incident. An urban guerrilla group, called the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), claimed responsibility for the abduction.www.history.com/this-day-in-history/patty-hearst-kidnappedagain, I'm not a gyke person ... but.... all the mining clues in the z stuff and remember I decoded that ad and it was talking about gold bars. and it made no sense, but it might now. hmmm so many gold mining clues in the decoding of the z communications. I have a lot of that posted in other threads on this board.The Homestake Mine is famous in scientific circles because of the work of a deep underground laboratory that was set up there in the mid-1960s. This was the site where the solar neutrino problem was first discovered, in what is known as the Homestake Experiment. Raymond Davis Jr. conducted this experiment in the mid-1960s, which was the first to observe solar neutrinos._______________Ray Davis -This name is connected long years later, but maybe there is something they already knew about with this connected Name, so going to make note of this for now. Means nothing at all but need to check that name and see if it popped up with this mines years earlier. ________________________I don't know what is in this article at all, but it is the Homestead Mining company over in the Napa county area or somewhere, I have to look but glanced and going to check this also.
MCLAUGHLIN MINE, Calif. - Homestake Mining Co." s Ray Krauss ambles along the banks of a lake his firm built to supply water to its McLaughlin Mine in Northern California. He talks glowingly about his 17 years as manager of environmental affairs.First he got permits for the cyanide-process gold mine just 70 miles north of San Francisco. Then he saw the mining through without serious incident, and even received accolades from the Sierra Club, the Soil Conservation Society, and Oregon's High Desert Museum.He did more than simply avoid disasters. Krauss says the mine improved the land around it. The mining company has cleaned up three abandoned mercury mines, removed cows from most of the 11,000-acre site, and collected two decades of baseline scientific data.But most significant are the company's efforts at reclamation: Native oaks now grow atop waste-rock dumps and the mine has kept its heavy metals from worming their way into the downstream food chain."McLaughlin is an environmental showcase," says Mike Steeves, Homestake's director of investor relations. "It's the one we tend to show off.""It's interesting how 200 acres of mine pit can support 10,000 acres of (nature preserve)," boasts Krauss. The numbers might be a stretch - counting the processing facilities, the ratio is more like 10 to 1 - but the principle is thought-provoking. Homestake has channeled about one of every 40 operating dollars into environmental efforts, amounting to some $2 million a year when ore was still being extracted and waste rock piled for burial.Before Homestake, no one was clamoring to plug the hundred-year-old mercury mine tunnel that was channeling acid drainage into Davis Creek, or to remove the processing waste from 19th century mercury retorts, which have discharged heavy metals into local streams. Homestake found it easier to clean up the previous miners' mess than to argue about whether the mercury was coming from the old workings or from its new mine.It is this enlightened approach that has earned Homestake the respect of figures such as University of Nevada Professor of Environmental and Resource Sciences Glenn Miller and of organizations including the Mineral Policy Center. "They're at the top of the heap right now in terms of major mining companies," Miller says, "but that still isn't saying a whole lot." And when the Mineral Policy Center prepared "report cards' on various mining firms in 1992, says senior research associate Carlos Da Rosa, Homestake walked away with the most positive one. The Mineral Policy Center's recent book, Golden Dreams, Poisoned Streams, says the McLaughlin Mine "demonstrates that hardrock mines can be both profitable and environmentally responsible."Scientists also give the McLaughlin Mine high marks. For more than a decade, Professor Peter Connors of the University of California Bodega Bay Marine Laboratory has studied the California roach in the streams that drain the waste rock sites. He doesn't hold the mine responsible for any heavy metal concentrations in the fish. "Natural conditions and variations explain the variation in their populations," he says.The California Native Plant Society's Joe Callizo has been tracking rare plants such as the serpentine sunflower and adobe lily near the mine and has seen "very little encroachment" from Homestake's activities. "When we've seen the occasional tire track or fallen fence, we've reported it, and Homestake has fixed it immediately," Callizo says. Indeed, most of Homestake's 10,000 acres seem more like a gently used ranch than a mine, covered in a mosaic of woodland, rolling grassland and chaparral.Given the mine's location just 20 miles from the Napa Valley wine country, it's not surprising that Homestake chose to make this its premier effort at land stewardship when it sought approval for the mine in the early 1980s."California is a more populated area," says Da Rosa. "There's a greater degree of environmental sensibility, so they had to respond to that."Frances Burke had moved to nearby Rumsey just a few years before, having come from more urbanized Santa Cruz "for peace and quiet," she recalls. Add to that the fact that her orchard's irrigation water comes from Cache Creek, downstream of Homestake's main reservoir, and she felt she had to make a stand. But "when we realized we couldn't make them go away, we worked hard to make the regulations as strict as possible."Neighbors like Burke kept close tabs as the mining company sought the 327 permits it needed to operate. Homestake engineers designed a system for ore and water to be mixed in a slurry which is piped four and a half miles away from the mine site, to a location where tailings would present less of a threat. Homestake also chose to process the ore in tanks, rather than by piling it into huge heaps and doing the leaching on the ground. Waste rock dumps were designed with settling ponds to contain surface runoff and with clay caps to surround deposits of acid-bearing rock. The dirt roads were to be watered to keep down the dust raised by moving 100 million tons of rock over the lifetime of the mine.Even so, there have been surprises, one of which demonstrates the adage that it is possible to drown in a pool whose average depth is one inch.Homestake chemists analyzed the waste rock and concluded that a mere 7 percent of it had more acid-generating potential than the alkalinity of the rock itself could neutralize. But the rock behaved differently in nature than in the laboratory, fracturing along quartz planes, and exposing fresh pyrites which oxidized to quickly release sulfuric acid, Homestake environmental engineer Dean Enderlin said. This pulse of acidity is long gone downstream before the rest of the rock releases its buffering minerals.www.hcn.org/issues/122/3885Thanks to this phenomenon, the amount of rock needing to be contained more than quintupled, says Krauss, from 7 percent to 40 percent. Homestake adapted by isolating the geochemically active rock in thick clay liners capped with 15 feet of clay and five feet of soil.Since then, Homestake has traveled a relatively smooth road. Senior engineer Bill Marshall, a 13-year veteran of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, characterizes the mine's environmental record as "pretty good," marred only by occasional violations of heavy metals limits downstream of the waste rock sites. Most of these occurred when the sediment ponds were overwhelmed by runoff. Now, a mine pump diverts the water away from the stream.With all the ore mined and the refining facilities set to close in a few years, some ambiguities in the enterprise are coming into sharper focus. Even state-of-the-art mines leave a trail of risk that will last well into geologic time.Observers worry that the clay waste-rock containment will eventually fail, or that the supposedly impermeable tailings pond will leak. For these reasons, the University of California would decline any offers to own the site outright, says Elizabeth Riddle, acting director of the university's Natural Reserve System. With a lease or license to conduct research on the site, however, Riddle says the university would be eager to expand its research base there beyond the 300 acres it already manages.Though the McLaughlin Mine has had its lapses, it shows what a mining company can do. And that puts Homestake and the industry in a somewhat awkward position. Homestake spokesman Steeves is reluctant to compare McLaughlin with the heap-leach operation his company plans to open this year in Ruby Hill, Nev. The environmental protections that Homestake builds into its mines depend on a host of site-specific conditions, he hedges. But he concedes that state-of-the-art mining evolves in conjunction with the demands of the local citizenry."Nevada is a mining state, where gold mining generates significant employment and tax base," he says. "If you're in a desert, and not a person lives within a hundred miles of the site, the permit process will be simpler."___________Homestead Mining co Gold Bars.... remember I found Gold Bars Decoded in z stuff. Also a TON of other GOLD stuff and MINING coded in z stuff, so I'm checking out the mine.I'm trying to look at any of the old gold bars or the mining certificates or anything at all about the mining to see if there is any clues.most of the bars have similar markings, not z-likeContinue this post on down on post #5 from this one... About the McLaughlin Mine, owned by Homestake Mine. I can't keep adding to this post.

HMM this is interesting...Most people don't "see" things like I do, but I see a LOT in this article. All of these articles are letting us KNOW Gyke. Not what we assume or think about him because of what someone says, but we can "see" him through these articles. And this was all long before he ever left SD and was around the whole San Francisco "element".

this post is a continuation of the post 5 up from this one. ...
What is the Zodiac sill? Now this did not start until 1978, but maybe it was talked about or known about before that? It's possible because this was a MERCURY mine that is was a heavily debated issue, as most mercury mines are. Maybe it was a public issue long before Homestake Mining Company got involved; if so, then maybe that is why Gyke wrote about it. He obviously was interested in the Homestake Mining comany back in South Dakota. And he was writing about that back then. So where is this Zodiac sill? and had it been talked about in the public? who might have known about it.
also does this land have anything at all to do with the Volvans of Mt Diablo and the area. They also had a bunch of mercury mines. I've researched a lot of this ages ago about the mercury mines and also about Volvon land. I never bumped into the Zodiac sill before though
let me go dig up the Zodiac sill, and the history of it and anyone who might have known about it, and was it a public issue then.
_______________________
The McLaughlin Mine occupies the site of the former Manhattan Mine, which was operated from the 1860's to 1978 for mercury as part of the highly productive Knoxville District. Although not produced, gold in association with pyrite was historically reported in this district (Averitt, 1945). Analysis of surface samples collected at the Manhattan Mine by Homestake Mining Company during reconnaissance exploration in 1978 also revealed gold. The site was chosen because of its similarities to the Cherry Hill deposit in the Sulphur Creek District to the north. Negotiations for land acquisition were begun in October of that year. Detailed surface exploration by Homestake began in 1978, with exploration drilling conducted from 1979 to 1982. Over 500 holes were drilled, up to a maximum depth of about 2,000 feet. These revealed deposits of microscopic gold confined mainly to depths of less than 1,000 feet. Public announcement of the discovery was made in 1980. Construction of the mine began in 1983, and the first gold was produced in 1985. Mining was completed in 1996. Two identified deposits were mined as open pits, the South Pit and the North Pit. The South Pit was mined first. The two pits eventually merged at the Zodiac sill. The ultimate pit dimensions reached 6.360 feet by 2,530 feet with a depth of 640 feet. Total exploration and development costs were $14,300,000 plus land acquisition costs (Gustafson, 1991). Processing of the remaining stockpile of ore is expected to last until 2002 (Dean Enderlin, Homestake Mining Company, 1999, personal communication). The ore is crushed at the mine, mixed with water, and piped as slurry to the mill, which is about 5 miles to the northwest. Until 1996, the ore was pretreated in autoclaves before treatment with cyanide. Since then, ore has been directly treated with cyanide in a vat process at the mill. The autoclave operated at 320?F at 260 psi with 98% pure oxygen and sulfuric acid. The autoclaving was done to dissolve iron sulfides that contained gold. Following the autoclave, the slurry was washed with water to remove the acid and dissolved metals and to cool the ore. Eventually, autoclaving was considered unnecessary and given up. In current processing at the mill, quicklime and cyanide are added to the slurry. The cyanide leachate is filtered over activated charcoal in a series of tanks called the Carbon-in-Pulp curcuit. Gold is stripped from the carbon using a hot caustic/cyanide solution. The dissolved gold is then electroplated to form a sludge of precious metals, which is smelted with fluxing agents and cast into bars. The mine is being reclaimed for use as a environmental research station for studies under the direction of the University of California. Homestake Mining Company intends to retain ownership of and ultimate responsibility for the land. The open pits are filling with water, and the adjacent mining facilities area, ore stockpile area, and waste rock dumps have been, or will be, recontoured and revegetated to serve as wildlife habitat and watershed. Most surface facilities will be removed. The mill tailings impoundment will be covered with topsoil and revegetated. The mine reservoir will be maintained for water supply and wildlife habitat.

"It's serving as a model for how used-up mines can have a second life," states Sylvia McLaughlin, the reserve's namesake an environmental activist who also cofounded Save The Bay, to protect the San Francisco Bay from infill and pollution. Homestake Mining Company bought the land in 1981 from William Wilder, owner of the One Shot Mining Company which included the abandoned Manhattan Mercury Mine
_________________-
My note : okay found this... so it was a HUGE ISSUE, not only did the Homestake Mining buy it but it was the manager's WIFE( I think) who started the Save The Bay org to fight these issues of Pollutions in the bay, which the mercury mine would definitely be one. I would just about guess that when Homestake Mining Company bought it, it was named the McLaughlin Mine after her.? Just guessing.
Sylvia McLaughlin, the last surviving member of the three Save the Bay co-founders
After graduating from Vassar College in New York, McLaughlin moved back to Denver where she met Donald H. McLaughlin, the president of Homestake Mining Company, in 1948. The couple married and, along with his mother, moved to Berkeley
“She saw garbage being dumped on the shoreline, marshlands being filled and raw sewage being piped into the bay. By 1961, a third of the bay had already been filled or diked off, and only 10 percent of the original wetlands remained,” according to the article.
When the trio couldn’t get other environmental movements to take on the cause of stopping the bay from being filled in, they created their own group. They hatched plans over cookies and coffee in their kitchens, according to the Chronicle.
“McLaughlin said she hauled her children to meetings and organized busloads of activists to lobby politicians in Sacramento,” according to the Chronicle. “Before long, the women attracted the attention of radio personality Don Sherwood, who rallied people to their cause. Save the Bay soon had members all over California and from other states, McLaughlin said.”
Pete Seeger even wrote a song about the sorry state of the bay, calling it a “sludge puddle, sad and gray.”
In 1965, four years after starting Save The Bay, the state placed a moratorium on filling the bay and formed a permanent agency to watch over shoreline development, the Bay Conservation & Development Commission (BCDC). It became a worldwide model for coastal zone management
McLaughlin went on to fill other civic roles, including holding a position on the Berkeley Waterfront Advisory Committee and on the boards of directors for the National Audubon Society, East Bay Conservation Corps, Save the Redwoods League, Citizens for East Shore Parks, Trust for Public Land, Greenbelt Alliance and many others, according to Save the Bay. www.berkeleyside.com/2016/01/21/sylvia-mclaughlin-co-founder-of-save-the-bay-dies-at-99
Blue Ridge Berryessa Natural Area this is owned by the Homestake Mining Company and McLaughlin Mine is a part of this. The natural area is named for two prominent geographic features it encompasses - the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Berryessa. Lake Berryessa was named for the first European settlers in the Berryessa Valley, José Jesús and Sexto "Sisto" Berrelleza (a Basque surname, Anglicized to "Berreyesa", then later respelled "Berryessa"), who were granted Rancho Las Putas in 1843.
let me go get a map and find the Zodiac sill also.
wow that is a long ways away from the murders - lake Berryessa, etc and san Fran. 2 -3 hours. but...gyke was writing something about the Homestake Mining Company, and he obviously had to have heard about the SAVE THE BAY group. I think this specific mine is just a fluke it has Zodiac Sill. But at least we have the info out here.
wait a minute here, where was Cecelia Ann Shepard and Bryan Calvin Hartnell Are they off Berryessa knoxville road? that is the road you follow straight up to the Mclaughline Mine. it is on the same road? I think it is
Let me go check
okay here it is THE SAME ROAD straight up going north 25 MILES from Shepard and Hartnell are killed. HMMMMM interesting. whoever it is just traveled that road and only 25 more miles to the McLaughlin Mine with the Zodiac sill. hmmm I better go dig.

okay time to go find that article that Gyke wrote about the Homestake Mining Company. Then we will know exactly what he was talking about.
I wonder if they owned some other closer mines? they have Ruby Hill Mine in NV. Which might have something to do with the mining magnet in the Eureka Card. I remember when I first saw that and blew up the pic of it...I'm remembering this from way back then, and the info is in my old computer, but if I remember correctly it said on it... BUY SELL TRADE and a phone number and I think I remember the phone number starting with area code 707. At the time I thought it had to do with mining so I somehow ended up at some Miniing company over in Nevada and can't remember how, but I did. Then from there I ended up with a mining article in the Nations Magazine about a mine in Nevada. I never really made much sense out of all of that.
But I do believe there are a TON of mining codes in the Zodiac communications. I thought they had to do with Troy Houghton, as he was a miner and had a mining claim, and his name was Troy and I kept finding TROY clues in the zodiac communications. I thought they were for TROY OUNCE/ a miners weigh for measuring gold and silver etc. I'm very familiar with that, as I've mined gold years ago for a living. So I figured the TROY OUNCE clue in the zodiac communcations was about TRoy houghton the minuteman. there are a ton of mining terms in the Zodiac communications and being troy houghton had a mining claim, I thought it must be him, and it seems to work that way... but... now I need to really go back and see what all those mining clues are saying and see if there is anything at all in there with them, that might mention something to do with any of this info here in this thread. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I was not looking for anything like that either, and I might have missed it. I'll look.
But until we really know what gyke was writing about concerning the Homestake Mining Company, then I don't have much to go on. I do know though that without a doubt the Z communications are totally filled with mining clues.
Eureka, the mining magnet, taken to the mining news article, all the mining buzz words are in the coding, the dragon card with the miner. why would anyone give all those mining clues if they were not connected to mining. I don't think they would. so is this thing with gyke just some flukey stuff? very well could be, but we need to dig and see.

here is something on the Zodiac sill area ... I wonder how much info there was out on this during the z time period. If someone was really into mining they would certainly know about this mine, and they might know about the zodiac sill. They also might have just stumbled onto it somewhere in some other literature. How would someone stumble on to that?

okay here we go... 707 was the area code on the miner's magnet pen. that is Santa Rosa. Makes sense that someone near the Mclaughlin Mine would be near Santa Rosa? let me see how far it is. city of Santa Rosa Area code 707 is found in the US state of California. Primarily servicing the city of Santa Rosa (population: 213289), area code 707 covers 9 counties of California. Located in the Pacific time zone, area code 707 is on the same time as Los Angeles, CA. Area code 707 was brought into effect on January 1, 1959.from Santa Rosa to McLaughlin Mine, CA 64 miles from Santa RosaBut let me look at all the towns in that 9 counties the area code covers.
I had forgot to inclue the shepard and hartnell murders from the distance of the Mclaughin Mine. Only 25 miles from their murder, and on THE VERY SAME ROAD (berryessa knoxville rd)that is not that far to travel right up the exact same road. Was the zodiac coming or going to that mine? where the Zodiac sill is at? And why is gyke writing about this Homestake Mining Company,which is a huge issue in san fran because of the BAY AREA CLUB(fights issues on san fran bay conservationist etc), and the mine is names after the founder of the club and she is the manager's wife (I think, let me recheck how he ended up owning the mine at one time?) of the owner of the mine. wth ... this is way too flukey. it might be JUST FLUKEY, but there is no way I'm leaving this just "hanging" out here without digging deep into this. let me go dig 707 area code Major cities in the area code include Napa, Sebastopol, Vallejo, Benicia, Fairfield, Santa Rosa, Windsor, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Fort Bragg, Crescent City, Eureka, Clearlake, Vacaville, Ukiah
okay not like a small area haha. but Eureka is in there, and being the keys came from Eureka, maybe the miner's magnet did also, being Eureka is also in the 707 area code. but then again, that mining magnet could have come from any of the 707 area... but one thing about it, it is an advertising give-away most likely as it has BUY SELL TRADE and the phone number stamped on it, or embossed on it. look like "cold paint" like they have on the old pepsi bottles, if I remember right. we need a photo of that if anyone has a photo of it. My photos are all in my old computer "somewhere in a warehouse". My guess is that mining pen magnet came from a Mining or Diving shop somewhere in the 707 area code. Divers use them also, but always used them in underwater dredging and for pulling black sands out of the sluice box on the dredge or the gold tailings in the gold pan. Some of them you can also you for marking on stuff, writing on it, underwater if you want to mark something you send up. but after I added Shepard and Hartnell attack to the map and then went up the exact same road(berryessa knoxville road) it is only 25 miles. So now I have to think we might be closer to NAPA in the 707 area code. or where, just about anywhere down from berryessa knoxville road. That magnet miner's diving pen thing could have been bought anywhere in that 707 area code, and that area is all over. but if we look at the murders and think about this, the killer, "IF" they killer got that magnet thing from a 707 area code store, it was probably close to him. so where is that in the 707 area. But too, we have murders in san fran too, so he could be leaving san fran, traveling up that route and stopped and bought something at a dive shop or mining store and got it to or from driving on this road. but what if the magent diving thing came from another victim we do not know about who was in the 707 area code? just a thought. but what we do know is this... "someone" got that thing from a store as a give-a-way advertising item and it came out of the 707 area code. that we do know. So how did Zodiac get it? was he in the store, or took it from a victim we do not know about, or he stole it from someone? where did Zodiac get that. does it really have anything to do with the McLaughlin Mine? 25 miles from the shepard/hartnell attack. there is a good chance it does.

let me go see what other mines that the Homestate Mining Company Owned. There had to be something that brought that mining company to the attention of Gyke for him to be writing an article about it in 1964. And the article ended up in SD. Where he was from and obviously would know about the Homestake Mining Company. Why would he write about that in 1964. where was he then anyway? let me go look. I'm not all that familiar with GYKE, and I certainly did not want to be over here trying to figure out anything about HIM haha, but now I'm curious about all of this and can't just overlook this stuff just because I'm doing something else. ugh.

Is this the article Gyke wrote or is this a different one? Neither article states who wrote them. Let me keep looking. ok there was a meeting in San Francisco where McLaughlin received an award. This article is dated May 15 when it ran in New York, and in the Utah paper on the 16th but when was the meeting? let me try to find out. This is in the Salt Lake Tribune(SLC, Utah) May 16, 1964, Saturdayhere is another article
Oakland Tribune(Oakland CA) May 15, 1964 Friday

okay just a bunch of flukey stuff going on. Nothing really important. but I did find info I can use that hooks up to something else. Whoever had that diving/mining magnet got it from the 707 area code and could have been connected to mining of diving.
Then we have the Zodiac Sill up 25 miles on the same road as the Hartnell/Shepard attack. That is probably nothing but "IF" the person who had that magnet turns out to be a miner, if very well might mean something. So I have to figure out where that came from. I also think it interesting that mine is tied to Patty Hearst. Being she is tied to SLA. I should probably go dig up her fed docs and dig through them. Might be someone tied to her or SLA in the docs that mean something or have someone tied to that magnet. Probably not, but a thought...
