| Funtaforekomsten ble ifølge Foslie (1941, side 232) "..funnet 1901, etter sigende av en samejente." Men Foslie skriver også (1941, side 198) om en blymineralisering som var kjent ihvertfall på 1700-tallet, muligens også tidligere, at "det eneste nå kjente norske felt, som det kunne tenkes at dette refererer seg til, er blyskjerpet i Funtafjell nord for Mannfjord, hvor man kan plukke ut pene spaltestykker av blyglans." Hvorvidt "1700-talls skjerpet" er identisk med Funta-skjerpet er det vanskelig å ha noen bedre formening om idag enn på Foslies tid. Samene syntes imidlertid å klare og holde tett om sin forekomst som de støpte bøssekuler av. Grensekommisjonens leder, som på midten av 1700-tallet var i Tysfjorden for å gå opp (fastlegge) grensen mot Sverige, foreslo i sin rapport å gå så langt som å bruke tortur for å få samene til å røpe lokaliteten. Hva som videre skjedde i den anledning har jeg ikke kjennskap til. Jeg prøvetok begge Funtaskjerpene grundig under befaringen 03.09.1994, men klarte ikke å lokalisere et skjerp som skal ligge på Segeltind på sydsiden av skaret/sadelpartiet ned mot Mannfjorden. Av dagboken til Foslie framgår det at han heller ikke lokaliserte dette skjerpet under sin befaring av Funtaskjerpene og kartlegging ellers i dette området 11.08.1919. Referanser: S. Foslie: Dagbok 1919, side 50-51. L.P.Nilsson: Befaring (dagbok) 03.09.1994. NGU-Bergarkivets registreringskort over mutinger. |

| Abstract: | |
| The situation of the map Tysfjord is shown on p. 10. It comprises a very rugged country between the coast and the frontier, with several glaciers and mountains up to 1744 meter. The present paper contains the geomorphology, general geology, tectonics and glacial geology of the district, further the history of mining, a full description of all the non-metallic mineral deposits and of those ore deposits, which are restricted to this map area. The petrology and the rock analyses (amounting to more than 30) are reserved however for a special paper dealing with a wider district. The same is the case with the main ore deposits in the northern part, extending outside the map area. A main feature of the geomorphology of the district is the extreme westerly position of the main Scandinavian watershed. Its distance from the head of some of the present fjords is only 3 km, and in late glacial time this distance in one place was only 1 km. From here the water runs 350 km eastwards to the Gulf of Bothnia. There is scarcely to be found a parallel elsewhere to such an extreme position. The sceneries on both sides of this watershed are widely different. |
