Formation
In 1896 S. H. C. Miner, a rubber footwear manufacturer from Granby, Quebec, and mining promoter J. P. Graves (of Knob Hill Mining Company) and A. L. Little (of Old Ironsides), formed the Miner-Graves Syndicate. In 1899, they incorporated The Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, Limited and, in 1901, consolidated under The Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company, Limited. at the Knob Hill annual meeting. It was founded after an agreement was reached by the directors of Knob Hill, Ironsides, Grey Eagle and Granby Smelter Company. The company was formed with $15,000,000, of which $2,900,000 was held in Treasury stock.
