Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: L Report: Gold Hill (Princeton District) The Gold Hill is located on a horse of Cambrian Hasmark dolomite with the Princeton thrust system (Baken, 1984). A vein 2-6 feet wide and striking due N 70-85W (Emmons and Calkins, 1913), approximately parallel with the reverse faults and bedding, was mined from six shafts up to 165 feet deep with several hundred feet of drifts (Trauerman and Reyner, 1950). The vein contains quartz, calcite, iron oxide, copper carbonate, and magnetite. Production figures from 1936 to 1940 indicate an average grade of 1.32 oz/ton Au (unpublished information, MBMG files). Iron stained dolomite is present over an extensive area; some breccia from the fringes of this zone ran .02 oz/ton Au, .22 oz/ton Ag, .010% Cu, .010% Pb, and .012% Zn. The mine produced 87,018 tons of ore between 1934 and 1949 (Trauerman and Reyner, 1950). |
