Nine Mile Creek
“The Nine Mile Creek or Kennedy Creek mining district is located in Missoula County and encompasses the drainage of Ninemile Creek and its tributaries. Ninemile Creek is a tributary of the Clark Fork River, which it enters about four miles west of Huson. Since 1874, placers were worked on Kennedy, Josephine Creek, St. Louis Gulch, Eustache Gulch, Pine Creek, Marion Creek, McCormick Creek, Dry Gulch, and Ninemile Creek. Ninemile Creek had the principal placers and had been worked three miles upstream from Camp Creek. The total production for the district since 1908 was valued at over $480,000, almost all of that in gold (Sahinen 1957; Sahinen 1962). Lode mines contained lead, gold, and silver and were located on Upper Kennedy Creek and near the head of Ninemile Creek about 18 miles above its mouth.”
