Report: James (1946) describes the Edsel as two pits exposing the ore, but upon visiting the site no pits were seen but an open adit was discovered. The adit is at an elevation of 7940 feet, is dry, and is several hundred feet west of the hiking trail out of Rock Creek that leads to the top of Silver Run Plateau. The adit driven north into the hillside is in a granite porphyry with the dump composed entirely of this granite. There is abundant serpentine float in and around the dump from above suggesting the adit was driven in hopes of intercepting the serpentine. A well used path to the mine site and foot prints leading into the mine opening indicate it is frequently visited.
