Future of Mining in the Coeur d Alenes
The Coeur d Alenes district holds vast undeveloped mineral belts and large reserves, with war conditions delaying new work. Prices may normalize soon, prompting expected activity next year, especially in Big Creek and other promising sites like North Side Beaver Creek Pine Creek and Sterling Silver Yankee Girl and Sunshine while transport and zinc market issues ease. The Polaris and Yankee Bay prospects show long, rich veins, but past low silver prices hindered operations despite earlier shipments.
