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 (Geology): MINERALIZATION PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH ETERT, POST-DIABASE INTRUSION PERIOD, ALTHOUGH NEAREST OUTCROP OF ETERT SCHULTZE GRANITE IS AT OLD DOMINION MINE TO W.
Comment (Development): PREVIOUS OWNERS AND OPERATORS INCLUDE COPPER AND SILVER ZONE MINES (W. R. MARTIN), GLOBE DOMINION COPPER CO. (H. W. CLARK) (1920'S), J. H. FAUGHT; 25 CLAIMS IN 1920
Comment (Deposit): ORE DEPOSIT IN FAULT FISSURES IN QUARTZITE OVER DIABASE SILL ORE IN BOTH DIABASE AND QUARTZITE. MAIN FISSURE IS N68E BUT INTERSECTING FISSURES ARE ALSO MINERALIZED
Comment (Location): ON SOUTHEAST SLOPE OF COPPER HILL ABOVE MCCORMICK WASH
Comment (Production): ANY PRODUCTION AFTER 1921 WAS INCLUDED IN OLD DOMINION FIGURES IN ABGMT-USBM FILE DATA
Comment (Workings): 2 COMPARTMENT SHAFT 855 FT DEEP WITH CROSS CUTS AT 500 FT LEVELS, CALLED CLARK AND FAUGH SHAFTS
