Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: BEARTOOTH Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10070005 Forest or Resource Area: CUSTER Owner: N Impact: U Report: This site is shown to be on the southeast end of Goose Lake by Reed (1950) figure 11. Reed describes the deposit as chalcopyrite associated with feldspar gauge in syenite. Hartman's (1916) survey map of mining claims shows this to be the Copper Idol. Visiting the area two collapsed adits were found, one above the other. The Goose Lake hiking trail crosses the waste pile of the lower working, and there was a slight adit discharge from the lower adit. The flow was so slight that an adit discharge sample could not be collected - the discharge was just enough to make the ground damp for a few feet. |
