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 (Workings): SEVERAL SHALLOW BUT CAVED ADITS; LOWER ADIT IS ABOUT 50 FT LONG
Comment (Deposit): PEGMATITE VEINS IN A STRONGLY WEATHERED GRANODIORITE. LOWER ADIT IS ABOUT 50 FT LONG AND FOLLOWS THE STRIKE OF A N 60 W, 70 SW FAULT. THE PEGMATITE VEIN BEARS N 25-35 E, AND HAS DARK STREAKS OF BLACK TOURMALINE, AS WELL AS MINOR SULFIDES. THE UPPER ADIT IS 75 FEET ABOVE AND ON SAME STRIKE AS THE LOWER VEIN SYSTEM, BUT AT THIS POINT, THE VEIN IS SURROUNDED BY PINK POTASSIC FELDSPARS SEVERAL FEET THICK...THE MACRO CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES ARE MORE APPARENT IN THE UPPER WORKINGS. THE EXPLORATION TARGET APPEARS TO BE THE SULFIDES, (?).
