More details please. I'm looking for mining areas circa 1910 as the carved map will reflect industries along the Stilly River watershed for that time period. I'd like to put a mining symbol of some sort wherever mining was occurring along both the north and south forks of the Stilly. So, I should put one above Hazel area, and where else?? I did look through the 1909/10/12 Snohomish County directories (we have an almost complete set at the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society's library in Arlington) but only saw mines listed for areas along the south fork like Silverton, Gold Basin, and Monte Cristo. If you can give me some more details I can follow up on them. I was told that there was mining north of Trafton too but have not been able to verify it. I am particularly looking for info on the 1910 time period. If the mines were much earlier, I would not have that indicated on the map. The same goes for mining into the 1920s.
