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 (Development): DUMPS HAVE BEEN TRENCHED AND SAMPLED WITHIN PAST YEAR OR SO. (1983)
Comment (Deposit): QUARTZITES ARE FRACTURED AND VEINED BY QUARTZ ALONG N25W ORIENTATION. SOME BRECCIA ALSO OBSERVED. DUMP CONSISTS OF QUARTZITE AND QUARTZ-CEMENTED QUARTZITE BRECCIA. VUGGY, OPEN-CENTERED COMB QUARTZ VEINS CUT THE QUARTZITE. MANY OF THE VEINS ARE ABOUT 1 IN. WIDE, AND QUARTZ IS TYPICALLY WHITE TO VITREOUS GREY. VUGS IN THE VEIN ARE FILLED BY LIMONITE AND HEMATITE. STREAKS AND CLOTS OF VERY FINE-GRAINED SULFIDES OCCUR IN QUARTZ. CLOTS OF TETRAHEDRITE ARE COMMON WITH RIMS OXIDIZED TO COPPER OXIDES. SOME SUGARY, DENSE QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL CONTAINS ABUNDANT FINELY DISSEMINATED UNOXIDIZED PYRITE.
Comment (Location): INFO FROM LAND.ST :1972
Comment (Workings): SEVERAL NW-TRENDING ADITS AND RAISES, MOSTLY CAVED (ADITS MAY BE LOWER ACCESS TO UNDERGROUND WORKINGS OF APRIL FOOL MINE. AREA SURROUNDING OLD WORKINGS DRILLED 5-10 YRS AGO AND CONNECTS WITH DRILL AREA SURROUNDING APRIL FOOL MINE. DUMPS HAVE BEEN TRENCHED WITH BACKHOE FOR 30-50 FT LENGTHS, AND SAMPLED WITHIN PAST YEAR.
Comment (Geology): CHERT PEBBLE CONGLOMERATE SEEN IN FLOAT ON ROAD BELOW MINE.
