Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: P Impact: L Report: Union Much data exists in publications by the USGS (1978), Weed and Barrell (1901), Klepper and others (1957), and Roby and others (1960). The Union is a N50W 70NE replacement zone between Lodgepole limestone and Elkhorn mountain andesite near Boulder Batholith granodiorite. The zone consists of iron stained brecciated andesite, limestone, and granodiorite with lenses of siderite, ankerite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and azurite. It is 320 feet long and 7 feet thick, and was mined through 500 feet of workings over 365 vertical feet. Production was minimal. From 1905 to 1922 the Union produced 422 tons of ore with 11 oz of gold, 13,439 oz of silver, 1062 lbs of copper, and 75,870 lbs of lead (Roby and others, 1960). Seven samples taken by the USGS (1978) averaged a trace of gold, .5 oz/ton silver, a trace of copper, .7% lead, and .6% zinc. However, they stated that subsurface work may disclose resources, and indeed the Union has been the site of a recent extensive drilling program. All workings are dry. Roby has underground maps, long sections |
