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 (Workings): COPPER AND GOLD VEINS DEVELOPED BY SEVERAL SHAFTS EAST-SOUTHEAST FROM CAMP. SHAFTS RANGE FROM FEW FEET TO 200 FT. DEEP. COPPER KING SHAFT 1,000 FT. EAST OF CAMP IS ABOUT 200 FT. DEEP ON 55 DEG. NE. INCLINE AND CONNECTS ABOUT 500 FT. OF DRIFTS MOSTLY TO SOUTH. OTHER SHALLOW SHAFTS ON GOLDEN IMP CLAIM AND SHORT ADITS AND SHALLOW SHAFTS ON MARTY CLAIMS. CROSSCUT ADIT WAS BEING DRIVEN SW TO INTERSECT THE GOLDEN IMP VEIN AT ABOUT 50 FT. DEPTH EARLY IN 1958 .
Comment (Location): NW 1/4 SEC. 5 AND NE 1/4 SEC. 6
Comment (Production): NO RECORDED PRODUCTION
Comment (Deposit): COPPER KING VEIN IS SHEAR ZONE, 2 - 3 FT. WIDE, ALONG BEDDING PLANES IN N.-STRIKING, S 5 E-DIPPING SCHIST. ZONE CONTAINS BRECCIATED GRAY QUARTZ OR QUARTZITE IN FAULT GOUGE. GOLDEN IMP VEIN IS 2 - 8 INCHES WIDE, STRIKES NW IN ARGILLACEOUS ROCK. MARTY VEINS ARE WEAKLY MINERALIZED NARROW SHEAR ZONES AND BEDDING PLANE SHEARS. ORE BODIES OCCUR AS LENSES.
