Nickel Mountain Mine
Andrew Miller & McClean Gonzalez
Nickel Mountain mine, located 5 miles northwest of Riddle, Oregon, was scraped from the mountaintop in the 1950s to provide a domestic supply of nickel much needed to support the Korean War effort. Over its forty years of operation as an experimental integrated nickel smelter and mine, the mine’s ~2-mile surface was excavated by 50-150 feet. Of the 2 trillion pounds of ore removed and transported by aerial tram to the smelter each year, only 18 million pounds emerged as the ferronickel used to provide strength and rust resistance as ~30% of the alloy stainless steel.
In 1974 Jack Hausotter, an amateur botanist and science teacher born in Riddle, reported a sample of Goldback fern (Pentagramma triangularis) to Oregon State University’s Vascular Plant Collection that he had collected from a conglomerated bluff in between the upper ore body of the mine and the lower smelter site. It has a wide distribution along the west coast from the Baja Peninsula to Vancouver Island and is found in shaded spaces, and rocky crevices or slopes. Goldback fern spreads by releasing spores in the summer north and northeasterly winds. As the fern moves through its life cycle, soil accumulates around it, and the fern eventually becomes soil itself. Within this soil other species may grow and in the process reshape the land where the mine lies.
