This mine has been a substantial producer of crude pyritic gold ore, and is located one mile west of the famous Elkhorn silver property. The Sourdough company acquired a lease on the Sourdough property in 1936, and the company has had a crew of men at work since last October. The main tunnel of the mine has been opened up, and the company is now engaged in exploring the property at depth by diamond drilling. Electric power is available at the mine, and the drilling is being done with an electric diamond drill with capacity for deep drilling. The Sourdough property is owned by the Golden Curry Consolidated Mining Co. of Helena. The lessee company is composed of Gust Carlson and various associates in Montana and Minnesota. Lars Carlson is president of the Sourdough Co., and the mine work is under the immediate direction of Gustaf Stenborg. -Accessed via: https:// chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ Sourdough Mine, 1937, Photographer Unknown, Courtesy of www.mtmemory.org My/Donor Information: SUBSCRIBE TO THE GHOST TOWNS AND HISTORY OF MONTANA NEWSLETTER!
