Biographical History
George W. Tower, a mining engineer, began a long association with Thayer Lindsley and his company, Ventures Limited, when he worked as a mineral scout from 1925-1927. After working in several other mining jobs, he rejoined Ventures as a mining engineer (1935-1947) and became president and director of two Ventures subsidiaries, La Luz Mines (1942-1955) and Eureka Corporation (1942-1947). From 1947-1953 Tower was general manager for Hochschild Companies' South American mining interests. In 1955, he became an independent mining consultant whose clients included several of Thayer Lindsley's companies. He was again a director of Eureka Corporation until the mid 1960s. Tower was also involved in business ventures with Carlos G. Bowers (Tower & Bowers), Gloyd M. Wiles (Tower-Wiles & Associates), and Arthur R. Still and John W. Still (Still & Still).
