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 (Location): GOOD ROAD EXCEPT FOR LAST MILE ; INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Deposit): VEIN IS EXPOSED NE OF THE SHAFT BY A SERIES OF DOZER CUTS ALONG A ROAD. A 650-FT CROSSCUT WAS DRIVEN FROM THE WEST, PERPENDICULAR TO AND SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BELOW THE SHAFT. THE DUMP IN FRONT OF THE CROSSCUT SHOWS VERY LITTLE VEIN MATERIAL, SUGGESTING THAT THE VEIN WAS NOT INTERSECTED AT DEPTH.
Comment (Workings): ONE SHAFT, A 650-FT CROSSCUT AND EXTENSIVE BULLDOZING
