Tombstone Mining Company plans to add five more stamps to its mill. Sinking is underway on the Ravin cyaniding ore in the Big Hole Basin. Curtis & Majors have leased the Daisy Bell.
The Tombstone company, built by Butte men including M. Hinkle, A. N. Wallace, and others, has taken two claims in Beaverhead county's western Beaver herd area. They plan to upgrade a ten-stamp mill to increase capacity and begin full operation by year’s end after previous operators extracted about $20,000 in gold over 4.5 years. The vein is free milling with ore values from $10 to $50 per ton, and deeper work may yield higher copper content. The firm aims to mine, develop the Ravin shaft near Centerville, and expand to the Daisy Bell group in Jefferson county pending lease and bond terms.
In the remote Bua Hump country district, ore from the Sherman property shows a promising vein with gold content reported at several hundred dollars per ton. Local operators plan a 20 stamp mill to process ore, while freight costs and poor access hinder early production. Attorney Thomas Hogan, tied to Crooked River camps, weighs in as drill work advances and new development attracts Montana and local investors.
