Report: Anaconda LC001345 This mine operated from 1901 to 1948 and was being developed as late as the 1970's. Presently, as of 1994, it is being reclaimed as a part of the Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex DHES's state CECRA superfund site. It is on private land. Its tailings were being removed as of the fall of 1994 and trucked to the Mike Horse Mine site. It was revisited in 08/95 and a small wetland had been created and grass was growing over the entire surface of the reclaimed part. It was not considered as a part of this study because of its status as a superfund site.
