I Have Been Going To Montana The Last Couple Of Years During The Summer. And Found An Old Mining Town North On High Ore Road Exit 161 South Of Helena. This Still Has The Mine, Which Is A Drift Mine. The Mining Site Buildings And There Is Winch On The Hill That Goes Down Into The Mine, To Lift The Ore Carts Out On An Over Head Rail That Leads To The Ore Dump. There Is One Person Living Up On The Hill. But Is Never Home To Ask Questions . There Is Still Ore Bag Samples In A Building On The East End Of The Site. Any One Have Any Information On This Please Let Me Know.This is very large mining operation back in its time . Estimated that it may have been operational up until the 1970's. Thanks Edwardw701
