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.

Comment (Deposit): ORIGINALLY STAKED IN 1923;RESTAKED IN 1937 & IN 1958. CONSIDERED INACTIVE IN 1977. RESERVES BASED ON DATA FROM B1403. MINING WIDTH 3 FEET. CONSISTS OF A QUARTZ BRECCIA ZONE IN ARGILLITE & GRAYWACKE. QUARTZ & PYRITE OCCUR WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF SPORADICALLY DISTRIBUTED GALENA,SPHALERITE & CHALCOPYRITE. ZONE EXPOSED ON THE E & W SIDES OF A STREAM. THE EAST ZONE OUTCROPS FOR ABOUT 295 FT.; WIDTH RANGES 1.2-3.5 FT. THE WEST ZONE HAS MINERALIZATION SIMILAR TO THAT FOUND IN THE EAST ZONE, BUT ASSAY VALUES ARE LOWER. WORKINGS COMPRISE 5 SHORT ADITS & SEVERAL SHALLOW OPEN CUTS.
