: In July 1997 my wife & I were taken to a ghost-town

: to maintain or repair any of them. Apparently the town
: had been called Coolidge. A book on ghost towns of
: Montana refers to it as "Mystery Town". It's located
: near Polaris which itself is almost a GT. Does
: anyone have any further info on Coolidge?? The mine
: was spectacular to see.
Les, in one of my gt books, it shows a small picture of the inside of a Coolidge mill bldg; and
it also shows a map of sw Montana with Elkhorn
Springs (aka Coolidge) being about 20 miles nw
of Dillon, & about 25 miles sw of Divide. If you havn't already, i'd run those 2 names thru a search engine like metacrawler or snap, and see if they turn anything up. I'll let you know if I run
across any more info. Take care.
Bob.
