Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Location): THIS CLAIM IS ABOUT 0.3 MILE NORTH OF THE STEVENS CREEK NO. 1 CLAIM. ACCESS FROM U.S. HIGHWAY 101 IS BY WAY OF THE QUINAULT RIDGE ROAD 0.9 MILE TO THE SECOND ROAD JUNCTION. THE NORTHWESTERLY ROAD IS FOLLOWED 2.5 MILES TO THE DEPOSITS, WHICH ARE LESS THAN 200 FEET BELOW THE ROAD.
Comment (Development): 12 FT ADIT.
Comment (Deposit): TWO DEPOSITS: THE UPPER DEPOSIT CONTAINS SPORADIC MANGANESE MINERALIZATION IN A SILICEOUS ZONE IN GREENSTONE. THE TREND OF THE ZONE APPEARS TO BE N. 65 W. AND THE DIP INDETERMINATE. THE DEPOSIT IS 110 FEET LONG, 25 FEET WIDE, AND 3-1/2 FEET DEEP. THE CHIEF MANGANESE MINERAL IS BEMENTITE WITH SMALLER AMOUNTS OF NEOTOCITE AND SUPERFICIAL MANGANESE OXIDES. THE LOWER DEPOSIT IS A SMALL BODY OF MANGANESE CONFINED TO THE RED ARGILLACEOUS LIMESTONE. THIS POD IS EXPOSED TO A DEPTH OF 6 FEET, IS 18 FEET LONG AND 15 FEET WIDE, AND APPEARS TO PINCH OUT IN DEPTH. THE TREND IS N. 65 W. AND THE DIP INDETERMINATE. MANGANESE MINERALS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THOSE IN THE UPPER DEPOSIT.
