R.A. Thompson was a miller and grain merchant ca. 1885- (the firm continued in the 1950's) carrying on business at the Lynden Mills. He was a member of the federal grain commission ca. 1924. From the minute book, Thompson appears as an investor in the Promontorio Consolidated Mining Co. of Nogales, Arizona after 1905. The mine was in Sonora state, Mexico and by June 1907, there was no money left in the company. The 1906-1908 letter-book gives an interesting view of local Canadian investors attempting to do something with a far-away mine.
