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): ROTARY DRILLING IN THIS DISTRICT, POSSIBLY IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THIS PROPERTY BY THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO, HAS ENCOUNTERED A CONSIDERABLE VOLUME OF ROCK ANOMALOUS IN HG, SB, AS, AG AND AU.
Comment (Deposit): AN OLDER SHAFT AND A PIT EXPLORE A SILICIFIED BRECCIA ZONE IN SHALE AND QUARTZITES IRON OXIDE MINERALS ARE COMMON IN THE ZONE, AND MOST OF THE BRECCIATED ROCK IS STRONGLY SILICIFIED. PYRITE CAN BE SEEN ON A FEW FRESHLY BROKEN SURFACES. THE NEW HEADFRAME IS ON A 35 DEGREES INCLINED SHAFT. THIS INCLINATION DOES NOT FIT WITH THE HIGH-ANGLE MINERALIZED ZONE OBSERVED 20 M TO THE NW. THEREFORE, A LOW-ANGLE STRUCTURE COULD BE PRESENT IN THE UNDER GROUND WORKINGS. A PROSPECT 250 M TO THE SW NEAR THE WASH HAS A 20 N ADIT ALONG A N 15 E, 70 NW FAULT ZONE.
Comment (Workings): AN INCLINED SHAFT (35 DEGREES); SEVERAL PITS. A METAL HEADFRAME OF FAIRLY RECENT VINTAGE IS IN PLACE AT THE SHAFT. WORKING ARE SHALLOW AND NOT EXTENSIVE
