Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: JEFFERSON Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020006 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Daily West The Daily West, on National Forest lands, contains two short adits with quartz monzonite and numerous small prospects to the east along a contact with a large breccia zone containing Tertiary quartz latite. The adits crosscut to a N63E 80 NW vein with quartz, pyrite, and galena (unpublished information, MBMG files). Seven chip samples across vein material in the now inaccessible workings averaged only .028 oz/ton Au, .37 oz/ton Ag, and 2.0% Pb. Dump material is on the opposite side of Basin Creek, and is being eroded by the creek. The dump contains approximately 300 tons of vein material and mineralized quartz monzonite (JJDW-1) at .014 oz/ton Au, .62 oz/ton Ag, .072% Cu, 1.76% Pb, and .66% Zn. There are also about 100 tons of unaltered quartz monzonite on the dump. The dump size indicates about 200 feet of workings present. Production figures for 1902-1957 (Roby and others, 1960) show only 102 tons of ore yielding 148 oz of silver, 81 lbs of copper, 11,457 lbs of lead, and 12,608 lbs of zinc. Water samples below the dump.......... |
