Report: The MBMG geologist found one open adit here, but the waste dump had been totally eroded away by the creek. There was one cabin in good condition near the junction of roads. According to Gibson (1948), the site originally consisted of nine unpatented claims. He described a 300 foot long adit that explored quartz veins in the Ravalli sandstone. Minerals mined at the Silver Grouse included pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and biotite.
