The Flagler is a gold mine located in Alaska.
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 = Smith, 1913 (B 525)
Comment (Exploration): Status = Inactive
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = A large body of mineralized quartz was explored by an open cut and a 12-foot inclined shaft (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). The quartz vein trends north and dips 45 degrees east. Near a nearby pinnacle, more or less lens-shaped masses of quartz, some over 6 feet in diameter, are exposed in a zone oriented north-south (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). Smith described this quartz as compact, little shattered, glassy, and not very promising.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = The prospect was explored by an open cut and inclined shaft about 12 feet deep (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]).
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Schist-hosted gold-quartz vein
