Report: Heddleston-Cu-Mo LC001675 This record in the MILS database reflects the location of the Heddleston district and there is no Heddleston mine as such. The district was named for William Heddleston, one of the earliest miners in the area during the 1880's and 1890's. Production was sporadic from the first discovery in 1889 until the 1970's. The Mike Horse, Carbonate, Anaconda, Paymaster, Edith and the Mary P. mines are presently actively being reclaimed as a part of the Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex state superfund site. Miller and others (1973), McClernan (1983), Byer (1987) and Castle (1978) updated original work by Pardee and Schrader (1933). Original maps of the area are located in the MBMG mineral property files.
