New Deal Mine, Copperopolis
District, Meagher County,
Montana
Originally known as the Boss, the New Deal was
opened around the turn of the century and produced a small amount of copper
ores. The mine exploited a narrow vein cutting Belt series sediments.
Chalcopyrite and its alteration products were the main ore minerals.
This small hoist serviced the shaft of the New Deal.
