Mine Info
Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Location): THE WORKINGS AND BUILDING ARE JUST OFF THE COPPER CANYON ROAD.
Comment (Geology): THE INCLINE FOLLOWS THE DIP-SLOPE OF THE VEIN AS DO THE PROSPECTS. THE SIZE OF THE OPEN SPACE AND DUMPS SUGGEST THAT MOST OF THE MATERIAL WAS MOVED THROUGH A LOWER ADIT.
Comment (Workings): A 50-FOOT INCLINE, A LOWER CROSS-CUT ADIT AND PROSPECTS ALONG THE STRIKE OF THE VEIN. A SMALL BUILDING AND WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE REMNANTS OF A SMALL LOADING FACILITY.
