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 (Development): NO CURRENT ACTIVITY. RECENTLY STAKED CLAIMS BELONG TO EXXON CO. (1984)
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Deposit): SEVERAL MINOR PROSPECTS APPARENTLY EXPLORE NORTH-TRENDING FAULTS OR SHEAR ZONES IN PHYLLITE. AN INCLINED SHAFT EXPLORES IN A DUE N, 40 E FAULT, WHILE A VERTICAL SHAFT EXPLORES A N 10 W, 75 E ZONE. VERY LITTLE QUARTZ VEIN MATTER IS PRESENT ON THE DUMPS AND LITTLE CAN BE SEEN ALONG THE SHEAR ZONES. WHITE QUARTZ VEIN MATTER USUALLY CONTAINS LIMONITE BOXWORKS; PYRITE WAS OBSERVED IN ONE SAMPLE. THE SHEAR ZONES ARE 10-30 CM WIDE.
Comment (Workings): SEVERAL SHAFTS, ADITS, PITS, ALL PROBABLY LESS THAN 25 M DEEP
