Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: TALLY LAKE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: Forest or Resource Area: FLATHEAD Owner: N Impact: Report: Micho Mine FH006924 The Micho Mine is located in section 32, T32N, R21W (Whitefish quadrangle) along a southward-flowing tributary of Haskill Creek. The mine was developed around 1943 and consisted of one adit and two small pits (Johns and others, 1963). The workings are in grayish-red sericitic argillite interbedded with layers of copper-stained white quartzite and sandstone of the Precambrian Ravalli Group. The site was visited in September 2000. The adit was partially caved with a small 2' x 6' opening. The adit extended back into the hillside approximately 20 feet and trended N 8 W. The adit was dry with no indication of discharge. The small dump below the adit was heavily vegetated and no mineralization was observed in the waste rock. The mine was accessed by hiking up the unmaintained Micho Trail from a road located on Stimpson Lumber property in section 5, T31N, R21W. |
