Report: This prospect was screened out because it was described as being located in sec 26, T. 29 N., R. 34 W. and a different location was found in Hayes (1984). It was also described as a prospect only. A quote from Johns (1959) is as follows ..... "The Daniel Lee Prospect, in sec. 26, T. 29 N., R. 34 W., is northwest of Mount Vernon. Three claims were located by Earnest Williams of Troy in 1958. A quartz vein, from 10 to 15 feet wide, strikes N. 40 degrees W. and is vertical. The vein, in Ravalli quartzite and argillite, may be continuous for a distance of several miles. One pit has been excavated on the vein. Sparse amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and covellite are disseminated throughout parts of the vein. Quartz, the most abundant mineral, makes up 95 to 98 percent of the vein material. Sulfide minerals occur within several feet of the surface outcrop; however, oxidized vein material contains hematite and manganese oxides in vuggy sections of the vein. Malachite staining occurs in outcrops, and pyrite casts are common. Sericite and chlorite are present in sulfide vein material."
