Report: Priscilla Mine BE003955 The Priscilla mine is along the south side of Grasshopper Creek, in the NW¼ section 8, T8S, R11W. It operated from 1938 to 1941, producing 1,244 tons of ore yielding 399 oz Au, 1,959 oz Ag, with no Cu, Pb, or Zn from garnetized limestone (Mm in contact with Kgd)(Geach, 1972). A 15' vein was noted by Shenon, 1931. Minerals found on the dumps include pyrite with chalcopyrite, quartz, calcite, garnet, secondary copper minerals, specular hematite, epidote, and iron oxides. There is a timbered portal with an open door, the ruins of a mill (concrete foundations with a few burned timbers) and approximately 50' of streamside tailings. Abandoned core and cuttings are exposed to the weather and 55 gallon drums were left on a cart near the top of the hill.
