My buddy has a cabin and we found an old hard rock mine by it. We are trying to find more information on the mine. We found what we are pretty sure is the claim name, and an old newspaper article we think to be talking about the mine, but that's about it. I have the Minerals Availability System number, but can not find any way to search for it.

Look it up via the Mineral Resources Data System

This page should look it up. Then click on the mine and check the referenced papers in the report.
