Discussion
The Drill-Hole mine is two miles northeast of Galena on the Amon farm and was operated about 1906. The shaft is 237 feet deep. Ore was found in a north-south crevice and in flat openings about 20 feet above the Oilrock, but the deposit apparently is not large. It is mostly lead ore but contains some zinc ore. Scattered drilling in this vicinity did not find more ore (WILLMAN, H.B., REYNOLDS, R.R., AND HERBERT, PAUL, JR., 1946).
The USGS MRDS had this mine entered as "Brill-Hole Mine"
