Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: TALLY LAKE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010210 Forest or Resource Area: FLATHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: Humdinger Prospect FH006822 The Humdinger Prospect is a vein-type copper deposit located above Logan Creek in section 26, T31N, R24W (Johnson Peak quadrangle). The prospect was located in 1934 and the workings consisted of two shallow pits and a 100-foot adit (Johns, 1961). The site was later relocated as the San Mezcalito Mine. MBMG visited the site in August 2000. The portal to the adit was collapsed except for a small 8"x12" opening and is not accessible without excavation. The adit trended N 30 W and was dry with no evidence of discharge. Waste rock on the dump contained quartz with chalcopyrite and manganese oxides. The small prospect pits above the adit exposed the vein and were less than 10-feet deep. No structures or environmental hazards were observed. |
