Mine Info

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 (Deposit): MOST WORKINGS FOLLOW AN E-W STRUCTURE ALONG A CONTACT BETWEEN DICKEY PEAK RHYOLITE AND AN ANDESITE. QUARTZ VEIN.

Comment (Location): WEST VICTOR AREA ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)

Comment (Development): M.S. #3076, NOT PATENTED (DICKY V.) BUT SPIDER, WASP, & LONG NEL WERE PATENTED. ERICKSON'S TREASURE HILL UNPATENTED CLAIMS (1979) COMPLETELY SURROUND THE UNPATENTED GROUND. SIZABLE WORKINGS-POSSIBLY PRODUCED SOME ORE

Comment (Workings): DEVELOPED BY 1 INCLINE AND 2 CUTS AT TIME OF SURVEY IN 1907; 2 LARGEST WORKINGS ON WEST SIDE OF CAMP. SIZE OF DUMPS SUGGESTS MORE THAN 200 FT OF WORKINGS.
