Vermilion vein raises at Vermilion Silver Mine Montana
Jack C White reports from Vermilion that W A Kittrell confirms good ore struck last month with a 40 foot raise and a 46 foot drift. The five foot wide vein promises pay to ship crude ore, with water too low to run the mill until spring. High grade mill feed yields gold silver and lead. A parallel vein was found, likely as promising. Vermilion lies on Vermilion creek, a Trout creek tributary in Sanders county Montana.
