Deposit GOLD WAS DISCOVERED IN 1907 BY A COWBOY WHO LOCATED SEVERAL CLAIMS WHICH WERE SOLD TO JAMES RASER, WHO SHIPPED A LITTLE HIGH-GRADE ORE, AND IN 1911 ERECTED A 5-STAMP AMALGAMATION MILL WHICH OPERATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE REEDER MINE, SOUTH OF THE RASER PROPERTY WAS WORKED IN EARLIER YEARS ON A SMALL SCALE BY LEM AND JOSEPH REEDER, WHO PRODUCED SOME GOLD BULLION IN AN ARRASTRA. THE PROPERTIES WERE IDLE IN 1937 ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 3 FIELD OBSERV
