Subject category Comment text
Deposit THIS LOCALITY WAS EXPLORED SEVERAL TIMES FROM 1872 TO 1924. AMOUNT OF ORE PRODUCED IS UNKNOWN. THE 1944 DIP-NEEDLE SURVEY DISCLOSED THE PRESENCE OF A MAGNE DEPOSIT 1300 FT.LONG AND ABOUT 200 FT.WIDE. THE DIAL-COMPASS OF 1944 INDICATES THAT THERE MAY BE 2 DISTINCT VEINS, OR THA IS A FAULT ON THE PROPERTY.
