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 (Location): UTM ACC. SEV. LOCATIONS. LOC. TAKEN FOR CHLORIDE MINE
Comment (Production): 1891 DATA FROM CHLORIDE GROUP. SMALL RUNS FROM BAILY GROUP AVG. $12 AND $40/TON, AND 30 TONS FROM GLOBE GROUP AVG. $30/TON. ORE WAS FREE-MILLING. NO OTHER PRODUCTION RECORDS FOUND.
Comment (Deposit): VEIN, 18 IN. - 36 FT. THICK OTHER PARALLEL VEINS, BRECCIATED. QUARTZ LENSES AVG. 200 FT. LONG. INTENSE SHEARING OF SCHIST MAKE IT APPEAR AS IF ORE LENSES WERE PARALLEL TO SCHISTOSITY. QUARTZ SHATTERED AND FRIABLE.
Comment (Workings): MAIN ADIT, 1700 FT. LONG, ON NO. 2 LEVEL, DRIVEN FROM STUART FORK SIDE OF MTN. TO CANYON CREEK SIDE. MILLSITES ON BOTH SIDES OF RIDGE; 20-STAMP MILL ON CANYON CREEK SIDE. VEIN WAS MINED FOR THICKNESS OF 9-10 FT. IN SEVERAL PLACES IN 1937, NO. 3 ADIT LEVEL, 1700 FT. LONG, AT AN ALTITUDE 800 FT. BELOW THE OUTCROP OF THE VEIN AND 300 FT. BELOW NO. 2 ADIT, WAS REOPENED. SEE ANALYTICAL DATA FOR RESULTS. MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF WORKINGS IN LOGAN (1926).
Comment (Geology): SHEAR ZONE AT RIGHT ANGLES TO SCHISTOSITY OF WALL ROCK. SCHISTOSE BANDING STRIKES N55W, DIPS 60 SW. IN A FEW PLACES, PEGMATITIC LENSES FOLLOW TREND OF SCHISTOSITY. ALBITE OCCURS IN CONTACT ZONE WITH SMALL FRAGMENTS OF SCHIST INCLUDED IN QUARTZ, AND IS HIGHLY KAOLINIZED. DIORITE, ALASKITE, (SODA) GRANITE PORPHYRY DIKES INTRUDE.
Comment (Deposit): CLAIMS INCLUDED THE GLOBE, BROWN BEAR, MOONLIGHT AND NORTH STAR ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
