When Mining Seas
These Seas are Shored
I met these Seas after the Snows of Mine
Had melted away to Waterpure
These Seas are Mine
In Mind and Sight
And when the Sun goes down
These Seas see Night.

Granite Ghost Town in Summer, Granite County, Montana
Silver was first discovered in the area around Granite in 1865. The Granite mine, "Ruby Shaft," was discovered in 1872. During the course of silver mining at Granite, $40 million dollars worth of silver was removed, making it the "richest silver mine on earth." The mine was closed after the silver panic of 1893.
The site pictured is the east end of what remains of two massive buildings that covered the face of these rock walls and contained 70 stamp mills that crushed ore from the Ruby shaft. After crushing, the ore was sent down the hill for the silver to be separated from the base metal by amalgamation with mercury. The stamp mills worked six days a week at the height of production.These ruins and the ruins of the mining operation are located
Granite was a company town, built by the Granite Mountain Mining Company. It is located approximately four miles due north of present day Philipsburg, MT.
