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.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Workings): INCLINED SHAFT AND PROSPECTS. DUMP SIZE SUGGESTS SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET OF UNDERGROUND WORKINGS DESPITE THE PROSPECT STATUS SHOWN ON THE PRESENT TOPO MAP.
Comment (Location): ACCESSIBLE BY FAIR ROAD S OF MICROWAVE TOWER. ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1986. SIZE OF DUMP INDICATES WORKINGS UNDERGROUND OF SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET-POSSIBLY SOME PRODUCTION?
Comment (Deposit): VEIN SYSTEM IN THIN-BEDDED SHALEY LIMESTONE; 1-3 FT WIDE VEIN. VEIN CONTAINS YELLOW AND GREEN OXIDES, CALCITE, MANGANESE WITH STRONG LIMONITE.
