Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: CABINET Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010213 Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: M Impact: Report: Quote from Lyden, C. J., MBMG Memoir 26, p. 135 ..... "Trout Creek is a northeastward flowing tributary of the Clark Fork of the Columbia River, emptying into it not far from the Trout Creek Post Office. Since 1904 gold valued at $2551 was recovered from the gravels of Trout Creek and of the Clark Fork River near the mouth of Trout Creek. So far as known this work was all done from 1913 to 1917, inclusive, with the most productive season that of 1914 when two operators recovered $747 in placer gold. It is reported that at the turn of the century placer claims on Granite Creek, a headwaters tributary of Trout Creek, were paying well, and that a small amount of placer mining has been done just below the confluence of the East and West Forks of Trout Creek. Systematic testing may prove the presence of some gravel deposits on Granite Creek that could be profitably worked by dry-land dredge. If further information could be obtained concerning the recoveries of the placer miners that worked on Clark Fork River in 1915 and 1916, it might be found desirable to test the gravels of Trout Creek for possible dredging ground from its mouth to the point where the Trout Creek-Larchwood highway crosses the creek. So far as known, there has been no lode mining within the drainage basin of Trout Creek, and since the area is not believed to have been glaciated the source of the placer gold is not known" |
