Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE MAIN DEVELOPMENT AT THE ROOSEVELT MINE CONSISTED OF AN 855-FT LOWERE ADIT WITH ABOUT 750 FEET OF DRIFTS AND CROSSCUTS. ABOUT 200 FEET HIGHER IN ELEVATION ARE SEVERAL OPEN CUTS AND CAVED ADITS. THE UPPER ADITS APPEAR TO BE THE EARLIER WORKINGS. THE LOWER ADIT WAS DRIVEN IN AN ATTEMPT TO INTERSECT THE DOWNWARD EXTENSION OF THE ORE BODIES. HOWEVER, THESE BODIES APPARENTLY DID NOT EXTEND TO THE DEPTH OF THE LOWER ADIT, ALTHOUGH ISOLATED OCCURRENCES OF MAGNETITE WERE FOUND (MOEN, 1980, P. 54). BROUGHTON (1943, P. 20-21) ESTIMATED ONLY ABOUT 2000 TONS OF MAGNETITE REMAINS IN THE FLOOR OF THE LARGE STOPE OF THE LOWER ADIT. HE ALSO REPORTED AN AREA OF MODERATELY HIGH DIP NEEDLE READINGS S60E, 250 FEET FROM THE STOPE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
