Mine Info
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 (Production): MORE THAN 1,000 TONS OF METAL WAS PRODUCED.
Comment (Geology): THE ORE OCCURS AS CRYSTALS, BLEBS, AND PODS OF STIBNITE IN QUARTZ THAT IS DEPOSITED ALONG FAULTS IN HIGHLY CONTORTED AND SILCEOUS SLATES AND SHALES.
Comment (Deposit): IN 1891 JOSEPH BRAY RELOCATED THE BRAY ANIMONY MINE AT THE SITE OF A PREVIOUS SILVER PROSPECT; DURING THE PERIOD 1891 TO 1898, HE SHIPPED A MODERATE TONNAGE OF HAND-SORTED, 50% ANTIMONY ORE TO SWANSEA, WALES, VIA SAN FRANCISCO. THE MINES WERE REOPENED DURING THE YEARS 1916-1918, AND SOME HAND-SORTED ORE WAS SHIPPED TO THE MAGNOLIA METAL CO. PRODUCTION FOR THE PERIOD 1935-1969 HAS BEEN SMALL AND ERRATIC. THE WORKINGS ARE NOW INACCESSIBLE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
