Report: One adit, discharging water, was found to the north of Granite Lake on a small saddle. This mine was held at one time by Belle Mining Co., of Butte, MT. It was discovered in 1900 and was last explored in 1929 according to Reed (1951). Only oxides were found the waste rock dump, mined from a NW-trending fracture zone in diorite (Reed, 1951). The adit was supposedly 467 ft long (Johnson et al., 1993) and was partially open when visited in 1999. The adit discharge infiltrated into the waste dump and re-emerged at a steep rock face to the east and then trickled down to the twin, unnamed lakes to the north.
