Ninemile, Fourmile, and Glen Mountains

Ninemile, Fourmile, and Glen mountains are three separate
mountain groups each of which has a core of granodiorite cutting
the Hazelton group. The three have similar silver-lead and
Silver-lead-zinc deposits and are described in detail by O'Neill.
Iwo of the properties are equipped with mills: The Silver
Standard, which mined and milled ore of a gross value of about
$500,000 prior to 1923, and the Silver Cup, in operation prior
to 1928. Neither operation was profitable. Considerable work
has been done on a number of other properties.

On most properties there are a number of closely spaced
deposits in steeply dipping fracture zones in the Hazelton group
at or near granodiorite masses to which they are probably related.
All the deposits so far developed are small.

Some of the deposits may be workable at a profit by
small-scale, low-cost operations at times when metal prices are
fairly high. Further prospecting for small veins high in silver
and gold may result in the discovery of deposits which, worked
by a few miners or in a small way, might yield a fine profit,

and there is a chance of finding deposits of fair size.
