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.
Mine Description
The Logan mine, about 2 miles Southwest of Cherry, was reopened in 1922 and operated for a short While by the New United Verde Copper Company. It was idle in 1934. Material on the dump consists of decomposed granite and slightly copper-stained quartz. The property was equipped with a small mill.
