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 (Deposit): NO VEIN STRUCTURES WERE OBSERVED, BUT THE DUMP ROCK CONSISTS OF QUARTZ-CEMENTED LIMESTONE BRECCIA, INDICATING THAT THE ADIT MAY FOLLOW A QUARTZ OR BRECCIA VEIN CUTTING THE LIMESTONE HOST. THE BRECCIA IS CEMENTED WITH PRISMATIC (COMB) TO MASSIVE WHITE QUARTZ WHICH CONTAINS RHOMBS OF TETRA HEDRITE WITH RIMS OF CRYSTALS ALTERED TO CU OXIDES, MINOR PYRITE, MALACHITE AND GHOSTS AFTER SB? MINERAL. THE LOWER ADIT EXPLORES THE CONTACT BETWEEN AN ALTERED RHYOLITE (?) DIKE AND LIMESTONE HOST ROCK. THE DIKE IS EXPOSED AT PORTAL LEVEL AND IS SO THOROUGHLY ALTERED TO CLAY (ARGILLIZED) AND FE OXIDES THAT NOTHING COULD BE DETERMINED ABOUT ITS ORIGINAL TEXTURE OR COMPOSITION. DIKE IS PARALLEL TO LIMESTONE BEDDING.
Comment (Workings): 2 SW-TRENDING ADITS, AS SHOWN ON TOPP MAP, CAVED AT PORTAL. ALSO SEVERAL SHALLOW PROSPECTS IN AREA.
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :1972
Comment (Development): NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1983, BUT WORKINGS HAD BEEN SAMPLED (FLAGGED) WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
