. . Upon this olaim the mining oamp is establishet. everything in the vioinity centering at this point. The lmproveme~tliJ .. consist of an offioe, four dwellings, two barns for the stock, boardinghouse, blacksmith shop and several other buildings of mino'r importance. ' About ; 400 feet from the West end of this olaim there is an , incline shatt about 100 feet deep. " This shaft makes considerable water and it is at present found difficult to handle the water by a bucket and it .is proposed ' to inata11 ,a steam pUmp and continue sinking. I believe this point to bathe

. ' properp1aoe to put down a working shaft _ as all veins and the general ' formation centers at this point. There are many shallow .cuts; sh&.ft·~ t .

some years ago. ' At a point known as Drumm· s cabin the tie are sev8.ra1 . short tunnels and drifts which show the ·ground to be well m~ne~allzed. carrying a good percentage of copper and some gold.

Th~·ee (3) new loo~lons have recently been mad.e known B.sthe zark No.1, 'tsark No. 2 and Copper Chief extension. !n:' looking over

the ground; I rind them to be very valuable and all have': good strong veins and with some work will prove to be mines. The Copper Chief Extension has · oonsiderab1e development and some good cqpper ore on the dump.

NOTATIONSf

With depth it 1'1111 be found that the values are fully tn ' i: plaoe and in enormouSdbodiets of a high grade.
