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 Golden Crown property is east of Hackberry Wash and southeast of the Dewey road. Early in 1934, it was being worked by Binder Brothers` and is reported to have shipped two cars of ore during 1933. The vein, which is rather irregular, dips approximately 25° SW. and ranges up to about 3 1/2 feet in thickness. It has been opened by about 300 feet of drifting from a shallow incline that encountered considerable Water at 50 feet. Its quartz is massive to brecciated and contains abundant limonite derived from coarse-grained pyrite.
