Milford May Become Uranium Boom Town
Milford could surge as a uranium producer as ore found around the town prompts interest in open-pit and shaft mining. Old Hickory mine near town, now leased to North Star Metal Mines, shows samples from under 20 percent to about 0.85 percent uranium. The North Star group, led by J A Moren and Gottfried Peterson, has been active in development and shipments from the old open pit as other claims in Mineral Mountains and nearby areas report uranium finds.
