Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): NUMEROUS SMALL DISCONTINUOUS QUARTZ VEINS IN PHYLLITE WITH 2-3 SHORT ADITS DRIVEN ON THEM. INTRUSIVE FARTHER UPSLOPE IS CUT BY VEINLETS OF QUARTZ/BIOTITE/MUSCOVITE. STOPE TOP OF HILL IS IN THIS INTRUSIVE.
Comment (Workings): REMAINS OF 5 STONE CABINS, ONE OF WHICH WAS PROBABLY A BLACKSMITH SHOP. VERY SHORT ADITS (MAX 20 FT LONG) AND VERTICAL STOPE ON HILL TOP, 50 FT HIGH, GOES IN 30 FT ON QUARTZ VEIN. ALL WORKINGS TREND SSW; 3-4 SHALLOW PITS ON SOUTH SIDE OF HILL.
Comment (Geology): LIMESTONE NEAR BASE OF HILL IS CUT BY THIN VEINLETS OF CALCITE-QUARTZ
Comment (Location): ON KRUG HILL ON NORTH SIDE OF JUNGO HILLS. . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
