Between 1915 and 1930, 4,100 tons of copper, 140,000 ounces of silver and 8,600 ounces of gold were mined. Minerals identified within the ore body include chalcanthite, chalcopyrite, copiapite, goslarite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Volcanic rock was quarried from Island Mountain by Northwestern Pacific Railroad for heavy riprap used as far away as Humboldt Bay. Status: There are two gates on the Island Mountain Road, there used to be three, one is locked and you need a key or the combination.     SPYROCK RD Eel River-Black Butte River Resort-Van Horn Creek   COVELO EEL RIVER     UPPER TRINITY RIVER ABOVE LAKE       CANYON CREEK   UPPER TRINITY RIVER TWO FORKS AREA     COFFEE CREEK   READING CREEK   SLATE CREEK   SOUTHERN ZONE - LAKE COUNTY     Cow Mountain to Scott Creek, west of Clear Lake - Uncertain SCOTTS CREEK   Bad Creek-Big Canyon Road   North of Clear Lake-Elk Mt.
