Flag Hill Gold Mining Company mines were less than a mile west of the mining town of Republic, on the north side of Granite Creek on Flag Hill, within the Republic Mining District in Ferry County, Washington. The Flag Hill Mine was adjacent to the El Caliph, Morning Glory, and Ida May mines to the west. On April 18, 1896, the Republic Mining District, originally called the Eureka Mining District, was established. The first ore mill for processing low grade ore in the district was constructed in May, 1898, while highest grade ores were hauled 80 miles east to Marcus, Washington partway by cart and then via the Spokane Falls & Northern Railroad branch line for the remaining distance. Between 1899 and 1900 stamp mills were constructed at the Mountain Lion mine in the northwest part of camp and the Republic Mine in the south resulting in a brief period where all of the district's ore was milled in the camp.
