Helena mining mill shows marked ore gains and copper yield
An old Helena ore reduction mill reports three weeks of trials proving higher ore recovery and copper content than prior runs. The operation shipped nearly $7,000 in ore to the Government assay office, with improvements expected to reduce quicksilver leaks and increase output from a very large vein. Eight workers operate the mine on two shifts, producing about seven tons of ore daily as concentrates await completion of concentrating works.
