Report: The September Morn was visited by MBMG staff 07/23/99. It is also known as Pass Creek or Johnson and is located on the Flathead Pass 7.5-min. quadrangle. A lower adit and upper open cut were located and were dry. The adits are driven in a coarse grained arkose and shale beds. The lower adit trends S. 38 E. and has a steep, but not vertical, highwall. The waste rock consisted of blocks of arkose, fragments of shale, and vein of quartz, galena, and a blueish, metallic mineral. The upper working, accessed by a very steep 4-wheel drive road, appeared to be an open cut. It also explored veins in the arkose and shale. There were several other small beginnings of adits and prospect pits in the immediate area. Reed (1951) stated the workings totaled 750 ft and explored a narrow vein in dacite. This does not exactly fit the location described as visited. Johnson et al. (1993) also described the area and their description fit more closely. The area is accessible by a 4-wheel drive road. This road was supposedly built by the government in 1944. Berg (pers. commun., 1999) reported a small scale barite mining operation in the recent past.
