Sunshine Mining to Build Mill on Big Creek Site
Sunshine Mining company manager W F Newton announces a December 6 start on a 40 to 50 ton daily mill, duplicating the nearby Bix Creek plant with lower capacity.

Ore, largely gray copper with about 100 ounces of silver per ton, is shipped to East Helena for refining as plans for extensive tunneling expand the Big Creek ground and leasing program grows.
