Mine Info
Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): THE HARTLEY CLAIM IS IN THE FOOTHILLS 1 3/4 MILE E. OF OLD SPRUCEMONT. THE OLD WORKINGS IN LIMESTONE WERE CAVED AND ABANDONED IN 1913. A LARGE MINE DUMP WOULD INDICATE EXTENSIVE WORKINGS. A SMALL PRODUCTION IS INDICATED ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
Comment (Location): NEAR MONARCH MINE
Comment (Production): SMALL PRODUCTION ALSO INCLUDED SOME GOLD.
Comment (Development): OLD WORKINGS WERE CAVED AND ABANDONED IN 1913. A LARGE MINE DUMP INDICATES EXTENSIVE WORKINGS.
