`Leech and Garner floor drain gold recovery`

Warren Morris (head of engineering, claimed great-grandson of Samuel F. B. Morse — flagged in editorial register) put a filter in the casting-shop floor drain. Recovered $110,000 of gold in the first week. Eventually excavated the entire drain line because it had been accumulating gold since 1899. ## Cases referenced indirectly / via callback

Another story from Attleboro: one guy, Warren Morris, was head of engineering when I first went down there. Warren was the great-grandson of Samuel F. B. Morse, of the telegraph — he was from that family. Warren had started there about eight or ten years before. Leach and Garner had been there since 1899. They had a little drain in the floor of the casting shop, just a regular little drain like you see anywhere else. He decided to put a filter in the drain. He took $110,000 of gold out in the first week. It was just going down the drain. They eventually excavated the drain all the way, because it was a gold mine — it had been collecting gold down there for decades.
