Comments on the workings information

  • PRINCIPAL WORKINGS ON SE PORTION OF PROPERTY ON LONG TOM VEIN. THE DEVELOPMENT WORK CONSISTED OF A SHAFT ON THE VEIN, VARIOUSLY REPORTED TO BE FROM 380 FT TO 500 FT DEEP, WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET OF DRIFTS. THE VEIN HAS BEEN STOPED FROM THE 300 FT LEVEL TO SURFACE, FOR A LENGTH OF 150 FT. THESE WORKINGS ARE NOW INACCESSIBLE. THE PROPERTY WAS UNDER LEASE TO F.B. WEBB, WHO LIVED ON THE PROPERTY. HE CONFINED HIS WORK TO TUCKERS GULCH, WHICH IS JUST NORTHEAST OF THE LONG TOM WORKINGS. CONSIDERABLE TUNNELING AND GOPHERING WAS DONE HERE IN THE EARLY DAYS ON TWO INTERSECTING VEINS IN THE GRANITE, THE ANTRIM AND THE TUCKER. PRESENT WORKINGS ARE ON A VEIN WHICH PARALLELS THE ANTRIM JUST BELOW ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE TUCKER. THEY ARE NOW SINKING A SHAFT ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE GULCH IN AN ATTEMPT TO PICK UP THE ANTRIM VEIN BELOW THE OLD WORKINGS.

Comments on development

  • WATER WAS OBTAINED FROM SPRINGS THROUGH 3200 FT OF 1.5 IN PIPE. DUMPS FROM ARRASTRAS AND OLD MILLS WERE HAULED TO A PLANT IN TUCKERS GULCH, WHICH CONSISTED OF 2 20-TON TANKS, CURCULATING PUMP AND ZINC BOXES.
