Custer Mining Outlook and New Veins Near Salmon River
In 1897 mining in the Custer area faces high taxes and limited work as camps risk idle periods. The Yankee Fork district shows promise with the Binue Lead vein near 44 miles above Jordan Creek, claimed as 900 feet wide and bearing gold silver and lead. Prospects hinge on assays and sustained demand as Custer hopes for a revival.
