Exploration History

E. U. Philbrick staked the main Auxer claims in 1905. In 1925, the Auxer Gold Mines was organized, and by 1933 most of the Auxer claims were deeded to Auxer Gold Mines. In 1968, Auxer Gold Mines, Inc. was purchased by Spokane National Mines, Inc. The property was sold to Idora Silver Mines, Inc. in 1972, which later relinquished its interest. Ashington Mining Company staked two claims in 1999. In September 2003, Shoshone Silver Mining Company acquired the property from Ashington Mining Company.
