The Independence Mine one of the largest gold mines in the Willow Creek district operated from 1938 to 1941. The mine owners were very considerate of the men working so there were bunkhouses and dining halls, etc. For the families there were houses located in the area as well as a school. There is still an active mine in the area that is privately owned. Friday, October 3, 2008
