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.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Deposit): THERE WERE THREE HORIZONS OF UP TO 7% ORE COMPRISED OF 20 TO 30 ORE PODS. THERE ARE 10 PATENTED CLAIMS UNDER MINERAL SURVEY NO.2206 AND PATENT NO. 1183637 COVERING 188.418 ACRES.
Comment (Location): LOCATION IS ACCURATE FOR THE MINE SHAFT. ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :1979
Comment (Production): PRODUCTION CAME FROM 1,116,729 TONS OF ORE MINED FROM 1958-1970. NO PRODUCTION FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE FOR 1971-1983.
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS CONSIST OF A 5-COMPARTMENT, 18-FT. BY 9-FT SHAFT, AND SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET OF DRIFTS. A 46-INCH HOLE, CASED TO 36 INCHES, WAS DRILLED SOUTH OF THE SHAFT TO USE FOR VENTILATION AND AS AN ESCAPEWAY BUT IT COLLAPSED AT THE 150-FT LEVEL AFTER THE MUD WAS PUMPED OUT. IN 1958 THE MINE WATER FLOW WAS 475 6PM. HOLMQUIST GIVES AN EXCELLENT DESPRIPTION OF THE MINE WORKINGS (1970, P.81-83).
Comment (Geology): THE DEPOSIT OCCURS IN THE WESTWATER CANYON MEMBER OF THE MORRISON FORMATION.
