Some 377 open shafts were found by the USGS in Galena. Leases were small in the area some 100-200 feet on a side and shafts were sunk for exploration as well as production.

This camp was first known as the Short creek mining district, from the name of the small creek, flowing just north of the town, westward into Spring river. Mr. Holibaugh informs us that the first discovery of ore in this district was in 1868, in a well; it attracted but little attention, and led to no further developments. Not until April, 1877, was the discovery made by two prospectors which immediately brought about the opening of the deposits. Since that time mining has been continuous, and the productions bave been large.

The mines of this camp are confined to an area of about six square miles, lying principally between Short creek on the north and Shoal creek on the south, and extending less than three miles west of the state line. They are distributed over sections 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, 26, 27 and 28 of townsbip 34 N., 25 E. of the sixth principal meridian, as shown on the district map. The principal mines are within the limits of the town of Galena. Southwest of this, in the breaks and along the tributaries of Short creek and Shoal creek, mines are also very thick.
