Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: PHILIPSBURG Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010202 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Douglas According to Emmons and Calkins (1913), the Douglas Mine includes 2 caved adits with a total length of 700 feet which follow a 1-3 foot vein that strikes N70E 40SE. The ore appears to be quartz-iron oxide breccia enclosed within iron-stained Belt quartzite and siltite. A select sample (JGDO-1) of this material ran .090 oz/ton gold, .64 oz/ton silver, .026% copper, .029% lead, and .018% zinc. A third caved adit several hundred yards northwest investigates a N38E 76SE shear zone. It appears that the Douglas and Peacock are both on the same northeast striking, southeast dipping structure. The area is near a thrust mapped by Wallace (1987) which has placed younger Missoula Group rocks over older Helena Formation. Only more detailed mapping will elucidate the structures and their relationships to the mineralization in this area. |
