Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DILLON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020004 Forest or Resource Area: BEAVERHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: This prospect has recently been claimed as a group known as the "Velvet claims". It was described in Pattee (1960) who also included a site map. Geach (1972) also described the property. The excavations include a fenced shaft at the east end, with a trench to the east of the shaft. Following the road to the west, it passes over more small trenches dug along the intrusive/limestone contact. A 100' wide - 15' deep, open-pit was dug at the west end of the contact which was for mill tests according to Geach, 1972. Geach wrote that a 50- to 100-ton tungsten mill was installed but no mill was noted during this visit, however. Minerals here include specular hematite, garnet, epidote, and scheelite. No structures remain standing. The location describes the easternmost shaft, with one trench to the east of the shaft, several small trenches to the west of the shaft and one open pit to the west. No adits were noticed. |
