Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: CABINET Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010213 Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: N Impact: Report: Quote from Crowley, F.A., 1963, MBMG Bulletin 34, p. 50 .... " During the early 1880's the prospect was discovered and a mill was constructed about a half a mile below the main workings. The mill burned but was rebuilt in 1897 as a stamp mill." Milky white quartz vein with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite crystals remained at the mill site. It appeared as if (and is is reasonalbe to assume) that the ore was very selectively milled because of the distance and difficulty of transportation from the Copper Ridge adits. A foundation remains as well as two halves of an iron tank (spiral classifier?) and a large piece of an iron Chilean mill. No tailings were noted in the creek and no effect of milling was noted in the vegetation. No remains of a stamp mill were noted. |
