Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: LIBBY Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010101 Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: M Impact: Report: The following summary is from Gibson (1948). This group of claims was located on Prospect Creek and consisted of the Last Turn, Wakefield and others. The Ida V. adit was driven 500 feet on a NW-striking quartz vein in the Wallace Formation. Metallic minerals include pyrite, galena and sphalerite. There was at least one other adit at the D. & W. according to Gibson. The general area was visited; only caved adits or prospects were found. Access was gained via the road to the Herbert. The exact location of the mine was not determined (Gibson states only that the group was located on Prospect Creek). MBMG Memoir 15 (1935) describes this operation (formerly the Lincmont Options Company) as idle in 1934 but it was claimed that it had a 1,000 ft adit, shallow shafts and crosscuts. |
