Report: Sallie Mellen One caved adit follows a N68W vertical structure which crosscuts the host Missoula Group(?) quartzite and contains quartz, limonite, malachite, pyrite, cuprite, and pyromorphite (Emmons and Calkins, 1913). The zone carried 60 oz of silver and $4 in gold per ton, but is only 5 inches wide. One quarter mile north are several prospect pits and one caved adit in a quartz-iron oxide breccia that strikes parallel to bedding. This area has recently undergone exploration drilling, but results are unavailable.
