The Highlander Mill and Mining Company was formed in 1898 to operate mines at Ainsworth Camp (formerly Ainsworth Hot Springs) on the eastern shore of Lake Kootenay, British Columbia. Ainsworth Camp was one of the oldest mining camps in British Columbia, located in 1882 by George J. Ainsworth (1852-1895), who applied to buy 160 acres of land. The Highlander vein was discovered in 1890, producing ores of lead, zinc, and silver. Mines were within the Kootenay Mining District, Slocan Mining Division.
