Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: M Impact: Report: Silversmith The Silversmith lies on the same N55E 60-70NE structure as the Allport. MBMG files (unpublished) indicate a caved shaft 60-100 feet deep and an adit 440 feet long were present at the now reclaimed site. A composite of the dump material, consisting of silicified granite with 1% pyrite, ran .084 oz/ton gold, 2.04 oz/ton silver, .020% copper, .42% lead, .096% zinc, and .08% arsenic, so, as its name implies, the Silversmith was probably worked for its silver content. MBMG files report mineralized structure to be 3-9 feet wide. |
