Congress Mine, Broadwater
County, Montana.
The Congress mine was a gold producer, developed by shafts, exploring a vein
cutting andesite. The mine workings encountered a large limestone xenolith;
sparse secondary minerals are present in the limestone. The Congress holds
the distinction of being one of four known localities where quartz epitactic on
hemimorphite has been found.
