Forest lands in Washington, by D.E. Boleneus and D.W. Chase. 1999.

This report presents digital results of 3,927 stream sediment and
rock chip samples for gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc,
molybdenum, tungsten, and uranium from national forest lands in
northeast Washington. Sample results were taken from two

Colville National Forests. These reports were completed in 1982 by
Robert A. Grant on contract to the US Forest Service.  OF99-344
contains a description of the conversion procedure used, a
description and the table of the analytical results, and metadata.
The files containing the text and appendices are available on one,
3.5-inch floppy diskette. The file, of99-344tex.doc contains the
report with Appendix I and II. The file, of99-344.xls contains the
