P a g e 5 G h o s t T o w n s a n d H i s t o r y o f M o n t a n a N e w s l e t t e r by 1950. How Much Gold Was Found in Marysville, Montana? The exact amount of gold extracted from Marysville is not known, but according to one source, 130,000 ounces of gold were produced from 1876 to 1940. It was worth around $50 million at the time. Is There Still Gold in Marysville? The Drumlummon Mine still holds gold. With new technologies, it is possible to mine gold from deeper parts of the mine. An attempt was made in 2013, which had to be dropped due to high costs. But there are high possibilities of mining operations in the future, especially if there is a rise in the price of gold. Marysville Today According to the 2010 census, the population of Marysville is 80 inhabitants. With empty houses and crumbling buildings, much of it is now a ghost town. Adventure enthusiasts visit the town in the summers to explore abandoned mines and buildings. Some of its buildings are also registered in the ‘National Historic Register’. There are several old miners cabins on hillsides, a Methodist church from the 1880s, various lodges and houses in and around the ghost town, which invite you with a rich history and a lot of mysteries. –Courtesy of our friend Matt Grover at RareGoldNuggets.Com Photo by Jolene Ewert-Hintz Matt Grover shares his vast knowledge of ghost towns, metal detecting, gold prospecting, rockhounding, maps, treasures and much more at RareGoldNuggets.Com Be sure to check out his website!
