Comments
Comment (Deposit): A.B. Wilson suggests deleting this record. There is no reference and none of the information can be verified. There is a mention of a Helen vein in a description of the Michael Breen mine, which is 2 mi. to the north, but there is no way to confirm that it is the same Helen.
