Bulletin 723. 1924. - USGS Guliehmo Guglielmo Fresia 45339 302022005549 0098-00215  Death certificate of "George" Fasia,who met an unfortunate demise working in the White Caps mine. His real name was listed both as Guliehmo and Guglielmo. I suspect the latter was his real name. WhiteCapsMine  This was in my "White Caps" folder but frankly, I'm not sure of the source and have no idea what it is we're looking at here. Could be it, though. Herreshoff  This is a Herreshoff furnace, similar to the wedge furnace at White Caps, to give you an idea of the layout.
