	note = {The Bonanza mercury mine operated from the late nineteenth century until 1960.In this study, stream sediments, stream water and aquatic snails were tested in order to learn the types of highly toxic mercury compounds found in waters downstream from the mine.  Researchers were particularly interested in the presence of methylmercury, a water-soluble compound that is easily taken up by aquatic organisms. Researchers found elevated concentrations of mercury and methylmercury in Foster Creek, downstream from the Bonanza Mine.  Due to other natural sources of mercury and other mines in the area, however, elevated mercury levels in fish throughout the watershed cannot be directly ascribed to the Bonanza Mine.},
