About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = The country rocks in the area of this prospect are Lower Paleozoic to possibly Upper Precambrian Birch Creek Schist. Lower Tertiary and Upper Cretaceous intrusive rocks occur 1.2 miles southwest of the prospect. The deposit is in Birch Creek Schist and consists of quartz veins and pods containing pyrite, stibnite, galena, and sphalerite (Joesting, 1943).
