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 (Geology): ALTERED BASALT IS MAIN COUNTRY ROCK. WEATHERED BASALT IS YELLOWISH TO LIGHT-BROWN; NEWLY FRACTURED SURFACES ARE FINE GRAINED AND GREENISH-GRAY. CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT IS RED LIMESTONE THAT USUALLY ACCOMPANIES MN. IN DIRECT ASSOCIATION WITH THE MN MINERALIZATION IS A HIGHLY SILICEOUS, FERRUGINOUS "CAP ROCK". A FRESHLY FRACTURED SURFACE SHOWS SMALL VEINLETS OF CLEAR TO MILKY CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ.
Comment (Location): CLAIMS COVER 640 ACRES. THUS, ALTERNATIVE LOCATION GIVEN AS SW/4 NE/4 SE/4 NW/4 SEC. 7 IS PROBABLY ALSO WITHIN MINERALIZED AREA. DEPOSIT IS JUST SOUTH OF OLYMPIC NATIONAL FOREST BOUNDARY
Comment (Production): 58
Comment (Deposit): DISCONTINUOUS PODS OF MN ORE. ABOUT 425 FT SOUTH OF MAIN EXPOSURES ARE ADDITIONAL MINERALIZED ZONES IN TWO SMALL PITS AND A SHORT ADIT. SPARSE MN MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN THE SOUTHERNMOST PIT IN THE SILICEOUS CAP ROCK; THE OTHER PIT CONTAINS ONLY LOOSE FRAGMENTS OF THE SAME MATERIAL.
Comment (Workings): ADIT, 3 OPEN CUTS, TRENCHES
