Report: This site was screened out because it had no significant workings. A quote from Johns (1960) states .... "During the middle 1950's Messrs. Russel Deist, Lloyd Gould, H.P. Reinshagen, Jr., and Less Bloom located a group of claims in sec. 34, T. 31 N., R. 30 W., on the north side of Kennedy Gulch approximately 1 1/4 miles east of State Highway 37. At individual locations abnormal scintillator readings indicated the presence of radioactive material associated with igneous rocks. The claims are developed by several bulldozer cuts. No uranium mineralization of any consequence was found during development work. Radioactivity in the area may have been caused by sparse amounts of autunite occuring in the dike and surrounding Wallace country rock. Selected specimens were reported to assay up to 0.20 percent U3O8 (uranium oxide). Bulldozer cuts expose a diorite dike which is half a mile long and 50 to 100 feet wide. The dike is locally stained with small amounts of iron and copper. Pyrite crystals up to 1/4 inch in diameter are scattered throughout. Selected samples at 2 locations assayed 0.60 and 0.26 percent copper respectively, and a trace of silver and zinc. Neither sample was radioactive. The ground has been relocated by Messrs. Russell Deist and Lloyd Gould."
