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 (Commodity): ORE MINERALS NOT GIVEN IN THE REFERENCES
Comment (Location): W 1/2 SEC. 30; ABOUT 1 MI. S OF JOHNSON-HEIZER MINE
Comment (Development): SEVERAL ROTARY DRILL HOLES-5 YEARS OLD, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF MORE RECENT ACTIVITY AND NO ACTIVITY ON THE PROPERTY WHEN VISITED IN 1985.
Comment (Deposit): TWO VEINS ARE EXPLORED. ONE VEIN STRIKES N40E, DIPS 80E, CONTAINS 4 INCHES OF GOUGE AND 32 INCHES OF BRECCIATED AND UNALTERED SANDSTONE. GOUGE CONTAINS A FEW SMALL PODS AND INDIVIDUAL CRYSTALS OF STIBNITE AND ABUNDANT SB-OXIDE STAINS. THE OTHER VEIN STRIKES N80E, DIPS 55 DEGREES S AND CONTAINS 12 INCHES OF GOUGE WITH PYRITE, 10% QUARTZ, AND 10-20% SB IN FORM OF PODS OF STIBNITE AND STAINS OF SB-OXIDES. SANDSTONE BETWEEN THE TWO VEINS IS FRACTURED AND STRINGERS OF STIBNITE, 1/2 IN WIDE, AND SB-OXIDES FILL THE CRACKS. SANDSTONE ITSELF CONTAINS DISSEMINATED PYRITE AND STIITE.; MODEL NAME COULD ALSO BE: SIMPLE SB.
Comment (Workings): MINE WORKINGS INCLUDE TWO ADITS, TWO SHALLOW SHAFTS, AND A NUMBER OF OPEN PITS AND TRENCHES.
