Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: LIBBY Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010101 Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: M Impact: Report: It's location was inaccurate (somewhere in section 28) and the reference to it reported no workings. Quote from Johns (1960, p. 31) .... "The Raven group and the Lucky Mac group include 6 and 8 unpatented claims each respectively in secs. 21 and 28, T. 31 N., R. 30 W. in the Rainy Creek district. The groups were staked by Mssrs. J. D. Daniels, H. C. Daniels, and H. Daniels of Valcour and Libby in 1955. The property is 2 miles southwest of the Zonolite Co. mine. The information has been kindly supplied by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Daniels. Development amounts to a 20-foot adit and 9 bulldozer cuts on a sheared zone. Two pits have exposed a vein paralleling a ridge top. The property is near the contact zone of syenite and Wallace country rock. A sheared zone striking north and dipping 60 degrees E. lies in the SW1/4 sec. 21. The zone is from 8 to 25 feet wide. A short adit is on the structure. Quartz is the most abundant mineral, although some galena, cerussite, chrysocolla, malachite, tremolite, and jasper are present. A sample of the vein material assayed 1.6 percent copper. Approximately a quarter mile east of the sheared zone is a parallel-striking mineralized zone that follows a ridge. Quartz, galena, and fluorite have been observed in radioactive ore from 2 pits. Mr. Daniels states that radioactivity can be traced on the surface for a distance of 1,500 feet along the srike of the vein. Selected specimens assayed 17.0 percent lead and 0.75 ounce silver. Mr. Daniels reports that a specimen from the vein on the ridge assayed 7.5 percent zirconium oxide. The vein and sheared zone is near the contact between the Wallace limestone and syenite. Wallace country rock in the area strikes north and dips 40 degrees E. No production has been reported from the property." |
