Title	Mining methods, local mine history
Creator	Clifford R. Parsons
Other contributors	Fergus County Argus newspaper
Description	Gold was first found in Central Montana in Yogo creek in the early '70s to be followed later by discovery of placer gold in the Judith and North. Moccasin mountains. By this time lode mining had started generally over the state and prospectors were out looking now for "free milling" ore whose values could be recovered through the use of stamp mills and amalgamation. The Judith mountains were the first of the three mountain groups in Central Montana to gain the notice of men in the mining world with the rich strikes made in the Spotted Horse, Maginnis and Gold Reef. The first two mines being close to the town of Maiden and the last being near Gilt Edge. Maiden was the center of a prosperous mining district from 1882 until the turn of the century and had all of those things taken as natural appurtenances in any mining camp including a newspaper which still is published in Lewistown. The Maginnis in Maiden itself and the Spotted Horse which lay over the mountain from the town, gained most attention because they were the spectacular producers. Their total production having been very close to five millions of dollars.
