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 (Workings): Workings / Exploration = An 8-foot-deep shaft and a 60-foot-long adit have been driven on this prospect (Anderson, 1947).
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Anderson, 1947
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = An 8-foot-deep shaft and a 60-foot-long adit explore discontinuous stibnite lenses and stringers up to 1-foot wide in contorted mica schist (Anderson, 1947). Some stibnite is described as forming tiny stringers and pockets in the folds of the schist. Bedrock in the area is part of a lower Paleozoic metasedimentary assemblage (Till and others, 1986).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Stibnite lenses and stringers in mica schist; simple Sb deposits? (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
