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 (Geology): Geologic Description = A small hillside placer gold mine was worked by hand methods in the head of a gulch to the east and south of the Lilly lode (NM189). The gulch contains locally derived quartz boulders. Although only low-grade material has been found at the Lilly and nearby prospects, these lodes likely contained some free gold that was the source of the hillside placer.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = This report
Comment (Geology): Age = Quaternary.
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Alluvial placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a).
