Hidden ore found on Nine Mile at Shoshone mine site
P F McGovern of Northwest Mining and Milling uncovered buried galena ore half a mile up Nine Mile near the tunnel portal. The find suggests a pay shoot though the ore is not yet commercially graded. A prior belief that owners would abandon the property after concealment proved unfounded.

Moe Company explores vein near Gold Creek led by W K Moe
W K Moe, president of Moe Mining, reports ore samples from east and west drifts of the lower crosscut tunnel on Gold Creek. The crosscut runs 626 feet to 800 feet depth, with a 10 foot wide vein rich in iron and siderite, plus chalcopyrite and gray copper in the west drift. Extension toward the main vein is expected to yield a commercial lead silver ore body, as prospecting reveals signs of wider mineralization and potential connection to a vein near surface.
