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 (Development): PROBABLY PRODUCTIVE IN EARLY DAYS OF THE CAMP. NO ACTIVITY WHEN EXAMINED IN 1985.
Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS ARE ALONG A CONTACT BETWEEN CARBONATE ROCKS AND THE HIGHLY SILICIFIED AND METAMORPHOSED CARBONATES THAT BORDER THE DISTRICT TO THE WEST. IN PLACES THE VEIN CONSISTS OF MOSTLY QUARTZ STRINGERS UP TO 10 FT WIDE.
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS CONSIST OF 6 SHALLOW SHAFTS ALIGNED N20-30W ALONG THE FAULT-VEIN.
Comment (Location): ACCESSIBLE BY GOOD DIRT ROAD SOUTH OF THE HIGHBRIDGE MILL. ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
