This is the story about the Drumlummon Mine along with other gold mines and the town of Marysville Montana.

It was back in 1879 when a miner Thomas Cruse was out looking for gold when he came across rich vein of silver and gold. He had been mining downstream but knew his small deposit would only last so long and like most gold miners, he was always on the lookout for the mother lode and it just so happened that this day was his lucky day.
Of course like most gold miners back in the day, he was pretty much broke so he needed to borrow some money to get the proper equipment to mine this high grade vein he discovered. This rich vein of precious metal ore later turned out to be the Drumlummon Mine and once mining started it wasn't long and he had all that borrowed money paid back in full. Like pretty much all the gold rushes back in the day, it wasn't long before word got out about this rich deposit and soon miners and prospectors were flocking into the area in droves.
Of course this new mine needed workers and with no where to stay the need for a town of some kind was pretty much top of the list. Soon there were a few houses and building going up and this town became known as Marysville being named after Mary Ralston who was the first female resident to move into town and in 1881 the town had a post office.
