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 (Location): IN GARFIELD HILLS; UTM TAKEN AT CENTER OF SEC. 11
Comment (Development): PROPERTY CONSISTS OF 2 UNPATENTED LODE CLAIMS KNOWN AS SILVER STAR 1 AND 2. THE LARGER PART OF THE CLAIMS LIE WITHIN THE U.S. NAVAL AMMUNITIONS DEPOT.
Comment (Deposit): SMALL PODS CONTAINING A LITTLE SCHEELITE AND OXIDIZED COPPER MINERALS OCCUR ALONG THE MARBLE-MONZONITE CONTACT, ALONG THE MARBLE-VOLCANIC CONTACT, AND LOCALLY WITHIN THE MARBLE
Comment (Workings): 30-FOOT ADIT AND SMALL PITS
Comment (Geology): THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS HAVE BEEN FOLDED. SMALL LENSES OF QUARTZ, QUARTZ AND LIMONITE, GARNET, TACTITE, OR A COMBINATION OF ALL 3 OCCUR ALONG CONTACTS OR WITHIN THE MARBLE. MANY OF THESE CONTAIN NO SCHEELITE AND ONLY STAINS OF COPPER; SOME CONTAIN NARROW STREAKS OF LOW GRADE SCHEELITE
