Agency: NF Region District: R1 Ranger District: WEST FORK Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 17010205 Forest or Resource Area: BITTERROOT Owner: N Impact: U Report: Slate Creek Prospect (RA002018) The prospect was visited on 10/02/01 by MBMG staff. It is located a ridge west of a small northward flowing tributary to Slate Creek in sec. 6, T.2S., R.21W. It was accessed, however, from the Overwich Creek side and was at the end of the logging/mining road. There was an open adit, an inclined shaft, and a 10 ft highwall. The N.34 W.-trending adit was the larger working about 200 ft to the south of and downhill from the inclined shaft. The portal was 5 ft by 4 ft. The 1-2 ft wide vein at the inclined shaft strikes N.20 E. and dips 77 . Both were dry and no environmental problems were noted. Air hoses were strung across the hillside to the prospect. Walker (1963) described the State Creek prospects as a 15-ft incline and a 135-ft-long adit. It is in a contact zone of the Idaho batholith with Belt quartzite roof pendants. Minerals present include scheelite, galena, and chalcopyrite in the contact metamorphosed zone (Walker, 1963). The ores were considered primarily lead producing (Young and others, 1962) with additional minerals identified as covellite, magnetite, pyargyrite, and tetrahedrite. |
