MINES, PROSPECTS, AND OCCURRENCES (NBMG OPEN-FILE REPORT 90-2 B . SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS AND ANALYSES (NBMG OPEN-FILE REPORT 90-3 INTRODUCTION The need for an updated and expanded mineral inventory has been recognized by the BLN, Carson City District, in anticipation of planning requirements for land utilization in the 1990's. A low-level of mineral inventory was conducted within the district in the mid-1970's. Drastic changes in mineral economics and mineral exploration concepts methods have taken place since that time, however, requiring that a new, district-wide inventory be made. Work within the Carson City District was completed in three complementary stages. First, records of all mineral occurrences within the district on file within the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resource Data Set (MRDS) were obtained and examined. Deposit locations were plotted on topographic maps for field use, and additional literature search was done in some areas to augment information obtained from MRDS. Folios were prepared for each mining district within the study area which included MRDS forms, notes on mineral activity, and pertinent references. During the field examination stage of the inventory project, mining districts within the area were visited and many individual properties were examined and described. Outlying prospects, as well as major mines, were examined in order to provide more complete and accurate information on occurrences beyond that found in the literature. In each area examined, photos were taken to document activity, type of mine workings present, and to record geologic relationships. In addition, samples of typical ore mineralization were collected for analysis to investigate trace element associations in the ores. These samples were Nhigh-gradedlland usually collected from dumps, ore piles, or mineralized outcrops. The samples were prepared for analysis by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology analytical laboratory, and were analyzed by the Branch of Geochemistry, U.S. Geological Survey through a cooperative agreement between that agency and the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. The third stage of this project consisted of evalulation of the data collected during the field examinations, study of geochemical associations, and preparation of the summary inventory report. The report concentrates on metallic mineral resouces. Industrial mineral resources, geothermal resources, and oil and gas are referred to in some sections of the report but are not covered in detail. LOCATION The Bureau of Land Management, Carson City District, consists of approximately 5 million acres of public land in west central Nevada. The district extends east from the California- Nevada state line to the eastern border of Churchill County, and extends from the Esmeralda-Mineral county line on the south to the northern boundary of Churchill County on the north. The district includes all of Mineral, Lyon, Douglas, Storey, and Carson City counties, all but the northern portions of Washoe and Churchill counties, and a small part of western Nye County. The Walker River Indian Reservation is enclosed within the Carson City District, but the BLM does not manage that area. There are also large areas, especially along the California-Nevada state line that are National Forest lands managed by the U.S. Department of Argiculture. MINERAL RESOURCES The first mineral discoveries in Nevada were made within the area of the present Carson City district when the silver and gold deposits on the Comstock Lode were found in 1850. Exploitation of precious metals from the Comstock dominated Nevada mineral production into the 1870's and Virginia City and the surrounding mining districts were among the most active in the state during this time. Discovery of silver and gold in the camps of Aurora and Candelaria added to the volume of production from the western part of the state for a few years prior to 1900. Declining production from the Comstock and discovery of major metal deposits in the eastern and central parts of the state, however, combined to shift the bulk of Nevada's mineral activity away from lands now included within the Carson City district after about 1900. Copper deposits, many with associated values in precious metals, were exploited in many western Nevada mining districts during the first decades following 1900 and one, the Yerington district, produced copper into the late 1920's and again between the mid-1950's and the mid-1970's. Tungsten deposits occur in many of the mining districts within the Carson City district, and several districts generated small to moderate production during periods of high tungsten prices. At the present time, mining and prospecting activity in western Nevada, as well as in most of Nevada and other western states, is confined to precious metals. Within the Carson City district, one large open-pit silver mine, at Candelaria,

It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

    Hydrographic Basins Information

    A p p e n d i x A - B a s i n 54 Crescent Valley Page 1 of 6 Basin 54 - Crescent Valley Crescent Valley is a semi-closed basin that is bounded on the west by the Shoshone Range, on the east by the Cortez Mountains, on the south by the Toiyabe Range, and on the north by the Dry Hills. The drainage basin is about 45 miles long, 20 miles wide, and includes an area of approximately 750 square miles. Water enters the basin primarily as precipitation and is discharged primarily through evaporation and transpiration. Relatively small quantities of water enter the basin as surface flow and ground water underflow from the adjacent Carico Lake Valley at Rocky Pass, where Cooks Creek enters the southwestern end of Crescent Valley. Ground water generally flows northeasterly along the axis of the basin. The natural flow of ground water from Crescent Valley discharges into the Humboldt River between Rose Ranch and Beowawe. It is estimated that the average annual net discharge rate is approximately 700 to 750 acre-feet annually. Many of the streams which drain snowmelt of rainfall from the mountains surrounding Crescent Valley do not reach the dry lake beds on the Valley floor: instead, they branch into smaller channels that eventually run dry. Runoff from Crescent Valley does not reach Humboldt River with the exception of Coyote Creek, an intermittent stream that flows north from the Malpais to the Humboldt River and several small ephemeral streams that flow north from the Dry Hills. Surface flow in the Carico Lake Valley coalesces into Cooks Creek, which enters Crescent Valley through Rocky Pass.

    CHURCHILL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IBLA 81-539 Decided February 17, 1982 Appeal from a decision of the Nevada State Director, Bureau of Land Management, denying a protest of wilderness study area designations. 8500 (N-932.6). Affirmed. 1. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Wilderness--Wilderness Act--Words and Phrases. "Roadless." H.R. Rep. No. 94-1163, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. 17 (1976), provides a definition of "roadless" adopted by the Bureau of Land Management in its Wilderness Inventory Handbook. The word "roadless" refers to the absence of roads which have been improved and maintained by mechanical means to insure relatively regular and continuous use. A way maintained solely by the passage of vehicles does not constitute a road. 2. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Wilderness--Wilderness Act Sights and sounds outside a wilderness study area will be considered during the study phase of the wilderness review process absent a finding by BLM during the inventory phase that such impacts are adjacent to the unit and are so extremely imposing that they cannot be ignored, and and if not considered, reasonable application of inventory guidelines would be questioned. 3. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976: Wilderness--Wilderness Act The requirement in section 2(c) of the Wilderness Act of 1964, 16 U.S.C. § 1131(c) (1976), that a wilderness possess, inter alia, outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of 61 IBLA 370 IBLA 81-539 recreation is properly construed to require outstanding opportunities for either solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; both need not be present in an inventory unit to allow the unit to enter the study phase of the wilderness review process.
