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): APPROXIMATELY 0.25 MILES NNE OF FLOWER MINE (AS LISTED ON TOPO - FLOWER QUICKSILVER MINE, M055314); WITHIN AN UNSURVEYED AREA APPROXIMATELY .75 MILE NORTH OF PEAK 8910 WHICH IS LOCATED CENTER OF THE NE/4 SECT. 4, T.9N., R.45E.; 1.5 MILE SW OF INTERSECTION OF ANTONE CREEK AND MEADOW CANYON JUST UPSLOPE FROM THE ANTONE CREEK DRAINAGE. APPROXIMATELY 1000 FT. NE OF WARREN'S CABINS LOCATED IN DRAINAGE OF ANTON CREEK (BUILDINGS ONLY ON MAP, NO NAMES).
Comment (Workings): WORKINGS CONSIST OF TWO ADITS, 160 AND 40 FT. LONG. WORKINGS ARE ALONG THRUST FAULT TRACE IN CALCAREOUS SILTSTONE. LOWER ADIT CROSSCUTS MAIN VEIN SYSTEM. ORE OCCURS WITHIN 2 BEDDING-PARALLEL FAULTS 3-4 FT. APART. THE UPPER (SHORTER) ADIT NOW EXTENDS INTO THE EAST FACE OF AN OPEN CUT 25 FT. ABOVE AND 75 FT. SOUTH OF THE PORTAL OF THE LOWER ADIT. ACTIVE ROAD-BUILDING AND DRILLING AS OF 1985. RECENT (1985) WORK HAS DESTROYED SOME OF OLDER WORKINGS.
Comment (Geology): THE SHALE STRIKES N10-30W, DIPS 25-85W.
