The population is on private land in the vicinity of the old mining town of Frisco. Mining occurred within the habitat in the past and could occur again. There is speculation of renewed gold and silver mining (Kass 1992 cited by Franklin 2005). Mining of limestone rock is occurring (Robinson 2004 cited by Franklin 2005).
