Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: GARDINER Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10070001 Forest or Resource Area: GALLATIN Owner: M Impact: Report: These are two patented claims at the base of "Empire Hill" approximately ½-mile north/northeast of Palmer Mountain in section 11. Two adits and two shafts were all inaccessible in 1944 (Seager, 1944). The host rock was a biotite schist with possibly some association with a quartz latite porphyry extrusive on Palmer Mountain. The ore was found in lenticular quartz bodies with some arsenopyrite (Seager, 1944). This site also coincides with the "upper Pine Creek area" of Wedow et al., 1975. They describe an open shaft, timbered with water within 12 ft of the land surface on USFS-administered land to the south of Empire Hill. This shaft was located but no water was found. All workings were dry. One adit near aswitchback in the trail was open and considered dangerous. |
