39. The Newfoundland Slate Company appears to have been related to the Humber Consolidated Mining and Manufacturing Company, then working on the French Shore. Both companies were incorporated in New Jersey. The Humber company leased the York Harbour mine - owned by A.J. Harvey - in 1902, and had Charles E. Willis as its resident manager and W.M. Morgan as a major shareholder. The Newfoundland Slate Company had Harvey as its president, an E. Willis as its secretary, and was mortgaged in 1903 to David and Frederick Morgan. It is probably no coincidence that the York Harbour mine and Nut Cove quarry closed within a few months of each other in 1906.
