Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DILLON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020004 Forest or Resource Area: BEAVERHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: This property was developed as early as 1919 for copper and again in the 1950's for tungsten (Pattee, 1960). It is a skarn (tactite) associated with Amsden Formation intruded by a Cretaceous granodiorite (Mount Torrey batholith ?). The ore minerals include scheelite, powellite, malachite, magnetite, with gangue of quartz, calcite and gypsum. Pattee (1960) published a geologic sketch of the property, which is accurate to this day. Most adits are partly open to open; only one is totally caved. Most are timbered and are somewhat accessible. Most of the shafts are also partly intact ( 15' to 30' deep) and should be considered hazardous. The area in general is remote and does not get a lot of visitors. No environmental problems are associated with the site. References include Pattee (1960), Loen and Pearson (1989), Geach (1972) and the USBM mineral resource appraisal to the BNF - MLA 18-94 (1994). There are three cabins in bad condition associated with this site. |
