Democrat claim


A former Cu-Au-Ag-Zn occurrence/claim/mine located in the center WΒ½ sec. 1, T13N, R26E, Boise meridian, near Gilmore, on National Forest land. Owned by Sandy Sims. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.

Near the mouth of Ulich Gulch is the Democrat mine. It was staked in 1880 and is said to be the earliest located in the district. The vein, which is wide and persistent, corresponds in strike to the inclosing limestone. Both dip east, the vein 70Β° and the limestone about 45Β°. The gangue is very siliceous, carrying galena and pyrite, together with minor amounts of derivatives from them. The ore is said to contain about 9 per cent lead and 4 ounces in silver.


Local rocks include dolostone, limestone, siltstone, arenite, and chert; Devonian and Silurian marine upper continental-slope deposits; east-central and central Idaho.

Workings include unspecified underground openings.
