Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: Report: Albion Two N32W 80SW veins of quartz, fluorite, sphalerite, galena, chalcocite, pyromorphite, and pyrite were mined principally for their silver content of 20 oz/ton with minor gold averaging $2 per ton (Emmons and Calkins, 1913). The property was studied for its fluorite content by Reyner and Trauerman (1949), Ross (1950), and Sahinen (1962). Apparently the fluorite is a late replacement feature of vein quartz. One vein is at the Royal granodiorite-Quadrant quartzite contact; the other is within the quartzite. A total of 2,100 feet of workings were present along which the vein was mined for 800 feet of strike length. The veins averaged 1-3 feet wide. Developement work was proceeding as late as 1949 (Reyner and Trauerman, 1949). Today the three adits are dry and caved. The dumps are composed of granodiorite and quartzite wallrock that contain a trace of disseminated pyrite. |
