Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: LIBBY Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010102 Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: M Impact: Report: This property was not examined because the access was restricted by a "Keep Out" sign, and it is on private, patented land. No work has obviously been done on the property in quite a while because the road was overgrown with alders. Johns (1970, p. 122) described the property as having 2 different mills in the past: a pre-1905, 150-ton mill destroyed by fire and a later (1950's) 80-ton flotation mill which was dismantled. There is presently at least one intact building, but Johns reported that most other mine buildings were either destroyed or collapsed. A summary from Johns includes: the property was developed by four adits totalling 4,300 feet in in quartz / galena / pyrite / chalcopyrite / and sphalerite veins in Prichard argillite. Two adits were accessible in 1970. According to Bobbie Lacklen (1997, USFS, Libby RD) the site was considered for a land exchange but was rejected because of the presence of mill tailings and their possible liability. |
