From Ted Beck:
The Red Cliff bus line was probably started away back, probably in the 1930s, by Mickey Walsh. He got hold of a big old sedan, probably a Cadillac or Pierce-Arrow, that 7 or 8 men could crowd into and started hauling miners to Gilman. I don't think it was much of a success as it kept breaking down....

A Quartzite Transportation Company bus pass [No. 145] from Red Cliff to Gilman, purchased by Earl Beck. Good for dates between January 5, 1939, and January 20, 1939. Six dates (5,6,7,9,10,11) punched.
The Red Cliff line was started in the 1930s by Mickey Walsh. Ione Kutz, Mr. Neff, and Pear and Harry Mize were all involved with the bus, either driving or selling tickets.
