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 (Production): 25 tons of copper ore assaying 3% Cu, 0.09 oz. Au, and 2.7 oz. Ag, were shipped to American Smelting Co., Garfield, UT, in 1954. "The shipped ore was mine run from old diggings" 9DMEA-3788, p. 16 of 26.)

Comment (Ownership): Unpatented mining claims on public land.

Comment (Workings): "One old drift that goes in at about a 30 degree angle for approx. 12 ft, following a vein of copper ore. This vein is apparently 2 ft. in depth. Then there is a tunnel (cross-cut) of approx. 30 ft. that has not reached the ore bearing vein." (DMEA-3788, p. 16 of 26)
