Report: The Halfmoon is described in Johns (1970) as " approximately five-eighths of a mile east of the Snowshoe fault and 600 feet south of the Poorman Creek-Cable Creek divide is the Halfmoon unpatented claim. It was relocated by Austin and Wallace Monk, Kalispell, on September 4, 1963, and relocated by others in August 1964. Development work amounts to a 10-foot tunnel and two pits. The following information on the property was obtained from Austin Monk. The short tunnel exposes a 22- to 24-inch nearly vertical vein parallel to the Snowshoe fault. The vein contains galena, cerussite, quartz, and abundant iron oxides. Galena forms pods in the vein. A rusty-brown earthy specimen of cerussite and iron-oxides assayed more than 50 percent lead. Selected grab samples of galena-cerussite assayed 54 percent lead. The tunnel and other workings are in the oxidized zone. The property has not produced." The property was screened out in the office because it had no record of production, the location was only approxi mate and the were only minor workings.
