Agency: BLM Region District: BUTTE Ranger District: Forest Service Tract: Watershed Code: 10020004 Forest or Resource Area: BUTTE Owner: P Impact: U Report: "No placer production has been recorded from the placer mines on this creek since 1904, but for many years government statisticians included the production of Camp, Moose, and Soap Creeks in the Divide district where they lost their identity."...."The placer gold in the gravels of this creek was probably liberated by the weathering and erosion of quartz veins in the Belt slates such as those developed on the Clipper claims." Lyden, 1948 |
