Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: GARDINER Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10070001 Forest or Resource Area: GALLATIN Owner: N Impact: Report: The Dryden mine is described in Reed (1950) as "a series of narrow and discontinuous lenses of glassy quartz ... exposed by this adit over a strike length of 300 feet." He did not note any sulfides although some iron staining was present. The host rock is quartz-biotite schist. The mine lies just less than 1/2-mile from the YNP boundary to the northeast of Crevice Station and is shown by an adit symbol on the Ash Mountain 7.5 min. quadrangle map. Two caved adits were located. One trending N05 W was largely caved with a 2 ft hole remaining and with a small waste dump (probably less than 30 ft total length). The other appeared to be a start of an adit trending S.35 E. on the southeast side of the creek. A quartz pod in schist was exposed in the face. |
