Flint Creek Falls Powers Montana Mines by Electricity
Granite Mountain and Bi-Metallic mines harness Flint Creek Falls to generate electricity for the Hi-Metallic mill seven miles distant. A dam, two long flumes, and tunnels venturing into canyon walls feed two Pelton wheels and generators totaling 825 horsepower. Westinghouse engineers supervise, with power distributed 16 000 volts to Philipsburg for mill use and future mine lighting and hoists.
