Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE CALIFORNIA MINE IS A CAVED ADIT ON THE CALIFORNIA PATENTED CLAIM. BECAUSE PAUL VIETTI OWNS BOTH THE CALIFORNIA AND REVENUE CLAIMS, THERE ARE OFTEN COMBINED. THE MAIN WORKING OF THE REVENUE IS A LARGE PIT (SAMPLE IRS-685). EARLY, MINOR PRODUCTION OF SILVER ORE WAS PROCESSED AT THE COLUMBIA MILL.
