this cave did not notice bat evidence but it deserves to be 

 investigated (G. Hanson and M. Madsen pers. oomm). 



Other caves 



Several caves are located on a high ridge in the Pintlars south 

 of East Fork Reservoir. These caves could not be located 

 though they were searched for with the assistance of the 

 Missoula Grotto spelunkers. 



Mine Adits 



Several mine adits were visited between Basin and Bemice. An 

 adit north of the highway came to a dead end about 40 feet into 

 the mountain. No bat evidence was observed. Temperature 54 

 degrees, humidity 59%. 



An adit about 1 mile east of Bemice on the south side of the 

 highway forked about 100 feet in. No bat sign was observed. 

 The bat detector was used for 2 hours after dusk at the 

 entrance. No bats were heard. Tenperature 46 degrees, 



humidity 80% . 



Two adits at the Bluebell Mine were searched for bat evidence. 

 None was found. Two mist nets were set up near the entrance 

 to one entrance, and the bat detector was used for 1 1/2 hours 

 after dusk. No bats were captured or heard. Temperature 47 

 degrees, humidity 66%.
