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 (Geology): GEOL.DESC: MASSIVE FANGLOMERATE OVER 100 FT THICK HAS A 40 TO 50 FT. ZONE STAINED BLACK WITH MANGANESE OXIDE, WHICH FORMS FILLINGS AROUND THE ROCK CONSTITUENTS. THE FANGLOMERATE FORMS A MASSIVE REEF AND IS OFFSET 50 FT IN THE MIDDLE BY A CROSS FAULT. DEPOSIT APPEARS TO BE BEDDED, BUT DIFFERENCE IN DEGREE OF MINERALIZATION ON THE 2 SIDES OF FISSURES INDICATES A FISSURE ORIGIN.
