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): COMPRISE 82.89 ACRES BORDERING BOTH SIDES OF BEAR RIVER CHANNEL WHICH FORMS THE BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN NEVADA AND PLACER COUNTIES AT THIS POINT. V. 32, NO. 1, P. 86, REFERS TO A LOCATION OF THIS NAME IN SECTION 14 ONLY, BELONGING TO E. C. UREN, WHICH MAY BE A PART OF THIS LOCATION.
Comment (Workings): PLACER
Comment (Location): Location changed to match MAS record for this deposit. The county was incorrectly listed as Nevada originally in the old MRDS and therefore the center of Nevada county was used.
