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 (Location): NO EXACT LOCATION ; +/- 3000 M.

Comment (Deposit): MOST OF THE WORKINGS ARE IN SMALL PENDANT OR REMNANT OF OLDER SEDIMENTS NEAR CONACT WITH YOUNGER GRANITES. THE INTRUSIVE VEINS ARE GENETICALLY RELATED TO THE GRANITES AS IS THE CASE IN ALL THE DISTRICT, AND CARRY WITH THEM THE MINERALIZATION.

Comment (Workings): ADIT, SHAFT

Comment (Geology): OXIDIZED COPPER MINERALS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GOLD AND SILVER IN A QUARTZ VEIN THAT VARIES IN WIDTH FROM 6 TO 12 FT.

Comment (Deposit): FOUR UNPATENTED CLAIMS OWNED BY J.W. BARTLETT IN 1937. THE PROPERTY WAS FIRST PROSPECTED FOR COPPER IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE DISTRICT, BUT NO PRODUCTION WAS MADE. DEVELOPMENT CONSISTS OF AN ADIT SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET LONG, AND A 65-FT-DEEP INCLINED SHAFT. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT; 3 FIELD OBSERV
