Cultus Claim; Robert Claim; Anne Claim; Skookum Claim; Warren Claim; Sisters Claim


A group of six chromium claims near the head of Fish Creek in Section 14 (37-6E), heading into Section 23 at the head of Skookum Creek. Chromite existed as banded stringers and a disseminated zone.

The Robert, Anne, and Sisters claims explored narrow veins of chromite which assayed up to 52% Cr2O3. The Cultus and Skookum Claims contained a disseminated zone of chromite which assaysed up to 37% Cr2O3. There is no reported development on any of the claims.

Note: Huntting (1956) Lists a "Lambert" claim in the same area. Moen (1969) does not list this claim and is considered a more accurate source for the county.
