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 (Reference): Primary Reference = Wimmler, 1926 (ATDM MR 195-11)
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Wimmler (1926 [ATDM MR 195-11, p. 59]) reported that during the winter of 1925-26 a number of shafts were sunk on Ace Creek near Ester by Sagan & Campbell, McDaniels & Co., Alvin Martin, and others. Gold was reportedly found in one of the first shafts, although subsequent development disclosed it to be of limited extent and no significant amounts of gold were produced. The exact location of these shafts along Ace Creek is not known.
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = In 1926, a number of shafts were sunk at some unknown location along Ace Creek (Wimmler, 1926 [ATDM MR 195-11, p. 59]).
