Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: LIBBY Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: Forest or Resource Area: KOOTENAI Owner: M Impact: Report: Gibson (1948) described the Midas as totaling 3,000 feet of workings with a 75-ton flotation/cyanide mill, with production (up to 1948) totaling $59,000. The claims were originally located in 1905 with early production in 1916 to 1918, with both gold and tungsten produced, and later gold, silver, copper and lead. Again, according to Gibson (1948), mineralization included quartz, scheelite, and carbonate, with sericite, chlorite, galena and tetrahedrite. He states that "native gold associated with iron oxide, malachite, and scheelite can be seen with the aid of a hand lens". Prospects and two partially caved shafts remain on the patented land. Presently (1997), all the workings on Kootenai National Forest administered land are caved and only the concrete footings remain at the mill site. Two wooden buildings are in poor condition and there is an ore bin and the remains of a wooden tram above the mill's ruins. No tailings were identified in the drainage. |
