Biographical

Philip R. Bradley, Jr. came from a long line of successful mining engineers. He was born in December, 1904, in Copper Cliff, Ontario, Canada to P.R. (Phil) Bradley and Mabel Harland. His father was general superintendent of the Treadwell Gold Mining Company from 1910 to 1917, consulting engineer of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. (AJ) in 1922, president of the company from 1939 until 1944 (after the death of his brother, Frederick Worthen Bradley) and finally, chairman of the board of directors. The younger Philip Bradley grew up in Treadwell was in his teens when the mines flooded in 1917, an event vividly remembered. He worked underground at AJ while in college and wrote his thesis on the company. He graduated in 1924 as a mining enginner. He was a member of the board of directors of AJ.
