Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: L Report: New Year The New Year is well-described in the literature, and the following information has been compiled from Emmons and Calkins (1913), Walker (1960), and Earll (1972). The mine first operated from 1895 until 1905, producing several thousand dollars worth of ore from a replacement zone in Hasmark dolomite containing quartz, galena, chalcopyrite, scheelite, calcite, and tetrahedrite. This zone is one to ten feet thick, concordant to bedding, and has a N40-60E 50-60NE attitude. There are exposures of biotite granite within 1/2 mile. Underground mine maps (Walker, 1960) show about 600 feet of workings including a 180 foot inclined shaft. From 1953 until 1955, scheelite was mined and 7650 "units" (Walker, 1960) of WO3 were produced from surface workings. Workings remain open at present, but are fenced. |
