"On Big Interior Mountain in 1913 a party of investors from South Africa and England, including the 9th Earl of Denbigh, his daughter Lady Marjorie Feilding [sic] and Sir James Siverwright [sic], climbed to the summit to investigate the mine they purchased and in the process christened one of its summits "Marjories Load." Although not very romantic, it has since become known by that name again."
