Parker
40 Acre lode mining claim in Broadwater County Montana
Summary
The Parker Group of Mines is a collection of two (2), twenty (20) acre Lode mineral claims. The claims trend generally north-south, which is based on geological mapping combined with underground assessments and mapping and on-site survey work defining outcrops and deposits.
The claims encompass all of the relevant workings of the Parker group which was worked as early as 1860 according to historical records. Currently, there is a gated culvert that provides access into the workings at the lowest level. This haulage and exploration level was cut in the early 1900s to work under the shafts and intercept the veins and lodes at depth where they contained higher values of gold and silver.
This assessment of driving the lower level appears to have been accurate and quite lucrative based on the development of the workings and the infrastructure above ground. Surveyors documented over one thousand one hundred feet(1100) of drifting work on the lowest level. These workings are detailed and mapped and show veins of gold, galena, and some small quartz stringers. Also reported was considerable stoping in various areas thought to intercept shafts and declines found on the surface. There are no other open or access points aside from the main portal.
