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 (Identification): After much research, discovered that the "Golden Arrow" on MS-94 corresponds with "Lost Creek shrockingerite deposits" described in Bull. 1030-I. Golden Arrow claims 1-9 were placer claims discovered in 1936 (Wyant and others, 1956, p. 255).
