Agency: BLM Region District: BUTTE Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020005 Forest or Resource Area: DILLON Owner: B Impact: U Report: Unknown exact location. Mentioned in Winchell (1914) and Lyden (1948). Winchell (1914), p. 140, " The mines of the Silver Star district formerly included several quartz and placer properties along Hell Canyon, but these mines have been idle for many years." Lyden (1948) p. 86 " Winchell wrote in 1914 that some placer gold had been recovered from Hell Canyon (78:140), but left the impression that placer mining here was of little consequence, as it must have been. It is questionable whether these placers could be worked at a profit with mechanical equipment." |
