Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: DEERLODGE Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010201 Forest or Resource Area: DEERLODGE Owner: N Impact: Report: Lower Hidden Hand This caved adit is not part of the Hidden Hand Mine, but lies between it and the Herculese and Harrison Mines to the west. The nearby Herculese, Harrison, and Little Emery-Elizabeth follow gently dipping NW-striking veins as does the Hidden Hand (Robertson, 1952). Presumably, the geology of the Lower Hidden Hand is similar. The associated dump contains 3,000 tons of mostly unaltered plagioclase basalt with a cover of overburden. Less than 5% of the dump contains quartz-pyrite vein and silicified basalt with 1% disseminated pyrite. A sample from this mineralized portion of the dump had fairly high metal values (see map). A discharge issues from the mine. |
