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.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :1972
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1983
Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS EXPLORE AND POSSIBLY PRODUCED ORE FROM FAULT ZONE AND REPLACEMENT BODY ALONG BEDDING PLANE FAULTS. ORE ZONE PROBABLY CONTAINED PRIMARY BASE SULFIDES WHICH WERE HYDRO THERMALLY ALTERED TO GOSSAN, DENSE, SILICEOUS, STAINED WITH FE-MN OXIDES, WEATHERED TO A RESISTANT RIB IN HOST ROCK. SERIES OF WORKINGS FOLLOWS FAULT CONTACT SEPARATING CAMBRIAN PIOCHE SHALE ON THE WEST FROM CAMBRIAN LYNDON LIMESTONE ON THE EAST. MALACHITE COATS MUCH OF THE GOSSAN MATERIAL AT THE SOUTHERN-MOST WORKINGS. SURFACE FRACTURES ARE COATED WITH CRYSTALLINE CALCITE. FARTHER NORTH ARE BRECCIAS CEMENTED BY WHITE QUARTZ. NORTHWARD, THE BEDDING FLATTENS TO ALMOST HORIZONTAL AND STRIKES N20E. ADDITIONAL WORKINGS CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THE N-TRENDING VERTICAL FAULT ZONE.
Comment (Workings): SEVERAL SHAFTS, ADITS, OLD HAULAGE ROADS
