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 = Overbeck, 1920

Comment (Production): Production Notes = Stibnite from this vein was said to have been shipped during World War I (Joesting, 1942; ATDM Pamph. 1).

Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Stibnite vein (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 27d).

Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Stibnite was found in place in weathered bedrock on a bench claim near the head of Livengood Creek (Overbeck, 1920). Stibnite from this vein was said to have been shipped during World War I (Joesting, 1942; ATDM Pamph. 1).
