Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: TALLY LAKE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010210 Forest or Resource Area: FLATHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: Yukon Mine FH006828 The Yukon mine is located in the Star Meadow area in section 01, T30N, R25W (Johnson Peak quadrangle). The mine was located in 1929 and development consisted of a 257-foot adit, a small prospect pit, and a 20-foot shaft (Johns, 1961). The workings followed quartz-siderite veins within the gray-green Peigan argillite. Mineralization included chalcopyrite, chrysocolla, malachite, tenorite, and iron oxides. MBMG visited the site in August 2000. The adit was open and accessible for an estimated 250 feet, although the portal was partially caved. The adit trended N 20 W and was dry. The dump was mostly unvegetated. The nearby shaft was completely collapsed and only a few partially buried timbers were visible. No structures or other environmental hazards were observed. |
