Report: From Shea (1947), quote: "The Miller mine is on Markham Mountain, ten miles north of Helmville. The H & H Mining Company of Spokane has been driving prospecting cross-cuts into the hillside to uncover lead-gold bearing veins. In the summer of 1946, the Company dug trenches on the surface with a bulldozer to discover the surface outcrops. As yet no stoping operations have been carried on by the Company. Although the mine was idle during the winter, the management plans to do more development work in 1947." Pictures in the same publication show prospecting trenches and two other photos show two cross-cuts which were driven to intersect the veins shown in the previous photos; the first adit intersected a vein in one hundred feet and the second adit may have never been finished."
