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): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1979)
Comment (Production): VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE OUTPUT OF ORE WAS MINED FROM THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SOUTH FISSURE
Comment (Deposit): DISCONNECTED LENTICULAR ORE SHOOTS. VEINS BECOME MORE SILICEOUS 20 FT DEEP, AND MANGANESE CONTENT DIMINISHES
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS INCLUDE FOUR INCLINED SHAFTS AND SEVERAL OPEN CUTS ALONG THE SOUTH FISSURE AND FOUR SHALLOW OPENINGS SCATTERED ALONG THE OUTCROP OF THE NORTH FISSURE
Comment (Geology): CONTINUATION OF NE FAULT ZONE WITH COPPER MINERALIZATION FURTHER SW. MINERALIZATION PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH ETERT POST-DIABASE FAULTING AND INTRUSION PERIOD.
Comment (Deposit): THE ORE SHIPPED IN 1916 AND 1917 WAS REPORTED TO CONTAIN ABOUT 2 OUNCES OF SILVER TO THE TON, AND A LITTLE ORE FROM THIS VEIN WAS MINED FOR ITS SILVER CONTENT DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF THE DISTRICT (1880'S) ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT
Comment (Development): 7 PATENTED CLAIMS: CLAUDE, FIERRO, MANGANESE, SPEC, PICK, UNA, DICK; PROPERTY WAS ONCE OWNED BY GLOBE COMMERCIAL COPPER CO.; PREVIOUS OPERATORS INCLUDE T. J. LONG AND AL STOVALL (1942-1943), RALPH HENDERSON 1943), JOLYN ASSOCIATES (CHARLES H. JONAS, MANAGER, 1957)
