Report: This occurrence was screened out because it was a placer, and it was reported to be last worked in the 1930's. The only reference to it is in Johns (1961), MBMG Bulletin 23, p. 36. He stated that it was private land although the Forest ownership map shows it as KNF administered. The area of disturbance was described as 40' by 90' (Johns, 1961). The placer may have been flooded when the dam created reservoir Lake Koocanusa.
