Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: KINGS HILL Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10030103 Forest or Resource Area: LEWIS AND CLARK Owner: P Impact: U Report: The Grasshopper mine is a patented claim on a ridge west of Grasshopper Creek. Workings at the site include a collapsed shaft and several small prospects in manganese-stained limestone. Winters (1968) states that several carloads of high-grade silver ore apparently were shipped from the mine, but no silver minerals were revealed in a polished section of galena from the mine. No additional production records were found for the site. The MBMG visited the site in June 1998 and found no environmental problems. The 15-foot deep pit that marks the location of the 100 to 200 foot shaft (Roby, 1950; Winters, 1968) was identified as a hazard. A Grasshopper Creek mine was described in Dahl (1971) as consisting of a glory hole and four smaller pits at the contact of the Castle stock and the Madison limestone. This mine was also described as an iron manganese ore in jasperoid matrix. It is uncertain if the two mines are the same. Location: BBDB sec. 19, T9N, R8E. |
