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 (Commodity): ASSAYS OF SAMPLES FROM SURFACE EXPOSURES SAID TO HAVE SHOWN GOOD GOLD VALUES.
Comment (Location): DEPOSIT IN BLUFFS ALONG YOKON RIVER. OLD REPORT PLACES DEPOSIT 100-135 YARDS BELOW MOUTH OF FLAT CREEK. LOCATION GIVEN ABOVE FROM FIELD NOTES AND VISIT BY R.M. CHAPMAN. LAND STATUS VALUE CALCULATED 6-94 USING GIS OVERLAY ANALYSIS WITH BLM 1:2,500,000 SCALE OWNERSHIP STATUS MAP (1991).
Comment (Deposit): QUARTZ LENSES AND STRINGERS IN SHEAR ZONES IN SCHIST AS MUCH AS 4-5 FT. WIDE. MOST OF VEIN PROBABLY BARREN.
Comment (Workings): IN 1906 AN ADIT WAS DRIVEN ON AND NEAR ONE OF THE QUARTZ BODIES; COULD NOT FOLLOW IRREGULARITIES OF QUARTZ STRINGERS WITH A STRAIGHT ADIT, SO MOST OF IT WAS IN SCHIST COUNTRY ROCK; CAVED BY JULY, 1908.
