MARYSVILLE - North of Helena, reached from U.S. 15 over good road. There's more to see here than in most ghost towns. This town is not quite deserted and some mining still goes on, but it's nothing like the rip-roaring period when Irishman Tommy Cruse's magnificent Drumlummon Mine poured out $50,000,000. Other mines which produced handsomely included the Bald Mountain, Empire, West Belmont, Bell Boy, Penobscot and Shannon.
