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 = Joesting, 1942 (ATDM Pamph. 1)
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The prospect has been explored by trenches and a shaft of unknown depth (Chapin, 1914 [B 592-J, p. 321-355]; Joesting, 1942 [ATDM Pamph. 1]).
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = This prospect consists of a vein striking N. 40 E. which has been explored by a shaft of unknown depth (Chapin, 1914 [B 592-J, p. 321-355]). Coarse grained, bladed stibnite occurs in float; some pieces are as much as 2 feet thick. (Joesting, 1942 [ATDM Pamph. 1]). Several trenches were bulldozed but the bedrock source of the stibnite was not found.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Simple Sb deposit (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d)
