Mine Info
Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Identification): Mint Claims as part of Little Mo (Little Missouri Mining Co) DMEA application include 1-25 exclusive of 8 and 22. Not sure why No. 2 is singled out though it does have an intense network of roads and drill holes. AB Wilson changed record to discuss the entire Mint Group, leaving the coordinates for No. 2.
