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.

Land Status

Land ownership: BLM Administrative Area
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 (Location): N. CENTER, SEC 1; E. SLOPE PUEBLO MOUNTAINS

Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1984.

Comment (Geology): A LARGE MASS OF QUARTZ AT LEAST 50 FT. WIDE OUTCROPS ON ONE CLAIM, CONTAINING OXIDES OF IRON, MANGANESE AND COPPER.

Comment (Deposit): MAIN WORKINGS ARE ON A 20-FT WIDE QUARTZ VEIN IN GRANODIORITE. VEIN CONTAINS MASSES OF CU SULFIDES AND OXIDES ALONG FRACTURES, AS CLOTS, AND WITHIN THE MATRIX OF A BRECCIA. THESE VEINS ARE REPORTED TO HAVE SOME SILVER MINERALIZATION ALONG WITH THE COPPER, ALTHOUGH NONE WAS OBSERVED. THE ADIT AND THE INCLINE HAVE EXPOSED ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE VEIN. SAMPLE 2980 WAS CUT FROM THE EXPOSED PORTION OF THE VEIN WITHIN THE MAIN ADIT AND INCLUDED CHALCOPYRITE, CHALCOCITE, AND CU OXIDE MINERALS IN A QUARTZ BRECCIA.

Comment (Workings): ADITS WITHOUT TIMBER OR TRACK, WITH ORE PLIED UP ON DUMPS; ONE INCLINE AND SEVERAL PROSPECTED AREAS.

Comment (Deposit): NEW DEAL GROUP OF 7 UNPATENTED CLAIMS (IN 1930'S), FROM WHICH THERE WAS A SMALL PRODUCTION IN THE EARLY DAYS. DEVELOPMENT CONSISTS OF A 200-FT. LONG ADIT AND SCATTERED SURFACE WORKINGS ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT; 3 FIELD OBSERV
