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 (Deposit): VEIN

Comment (Geology): THE PROSPECT IS IN DOLOMITE LIMESTONE. THE VEIN VARIES IN WIDTH FROM A FEW INCHES TO TWO FEET AND IS TRACEABLE ON THE SURFACE FOR OVER A MILE. SCHEELITE OCCURS AS SCATTERED CRYSTALS UP TO 2" IN DIAMETER IN A GANGUE OF QUARTZ, CALCITE, LIMONITES, AND COPPER OXIDES.

Comment (Location): UTM PRECISION 100 IN; PREVIOUS QUAD DESIGNATION = BELLEVUE PEAK (1956) 1:625000

Comment (Deposit): FIRST LOCATED IN 1882, AND A FEW SMALL SHIPMENTS OF SILVER ORE WERE MADE PRIOR TO 1900. IN 1929 SCHEELITE WAS DISCOVERED BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO TUNGSTEN PRODUCED ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT

Comment (Development): A FEW SMALL SHIPMENTS OF SILVER ORE WERE MADE PRIOR TO 1900. SCHEELITE WAS DISCOVERED IN 1929, BUT NONE HAS BEEN PRODUCED
