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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Hill, 1933

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Simple Sb deposit (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d)

Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The workings consisted of a 90-foot shaft that could not be entered when visited by Hill in 1931 (Hill, 1933, p. 123).

Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = A 90-foot shaft intersected a 12- to 14-foot-wide vein at a depth of 50 feet (Hill, 1933, p. 123). The vein strikes east-northeast and dips southeast. Material on the dump is mainly quartz schist; there is also some quartz that contains arsenopyrite and stibnite (Hill, 1933, p. 123).

Comment (Production): Production Notes = There is no record of the amount of production, if any.
