Report: At the Queen of the Hills site there were no mill tailings. The volume of waste rock was estimated to be 54,640 cubic yards, and the waste rock contains silver, arsenic, barium, cadmium, copper, mercury, manganese, nickel, lead, antimony, and zinc. There was one discharging adit and the water seeped into the waste rock after flowing a short distance. There was a lack of runoff and the nearest surface water was at a distance. Safety hazards at the site include three open adits and some collapsing structures. The mine adjoins the Galt mine and the Equater mine (Robertson, 1951). A drift was driven for about 1,000 feet, and a shaft was sunk 300 feet. There were levels at 100 and 300 feet off of the shaft Other development work included two adits. The mine was a lead, silver, and zinc mine.
