Report: French Lode Mine BE004015 The French Lode is a patented claim located on a dry hillside in section 8, and has been entirely secured and reclaimed by DSL-AMRB. Originally it had four adits and three shafts, all of which have been backfilled or culverted (DSL-AMRB, 1990). It is also associated with Mississippian Madison limestone and Cretaceous granodiorite. Geach (1972, p. 83) includes the French as one of the group of claims recorded in the name of New York Montana Mines Company.
