Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: U Report: Red Lion The Red Lion mined a replacement zone in Hasmark Formation which was subparallel to bedding at N50E 73SE (Earll, 1972). This discontinous zone is up to 4 feet wide, carries $5-20 per ton in gold (1905 prices), and extends for 2000 feet NE to the contact with the Philipsburg batholith. The ore consists of quartz, calcite, pyrite, limonite, specularite, and magnetite (Emmons and Calkins, 1913). Two caved shafts 100 and 180 feet deep and one caved adit of unknown extent are present on private ground. A substantial discharge issues from the adit. |
