Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Workings): CAVED WORKINGS, SMALL GRINDING/WASHING FACILITY.
Comment (Location): ON SW SIDE OF TRIDENT PEAK NEAR HEAD OF A N FORK OF WILDER CREEK. . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): OLD LOG CABIN, CAVED WORKINGS, BUT RECENTLY STAKED. SMALL GRINDING-WASHING FACILITY, BUT NO ACTIVITY AT TIME OF EXAMINATION IN 1985.
Comment (Deposit): QUARTZ VEINS IN GRANODIORITE WERE MINED VIA A SMALL ADIT, AND MATERIAL WAS MILLED BY A GRINDING AND CRUSHING FACILITY AND WASHED IN A NEARBY STREAM. VERY SMALL CRUDE ONE-MAN OPERATION, BUT RESEMBLES A MINE- PROBABLY HAD SOME SMALL UNREPORTED PRODUCTION.
