Comments on the workings information

  • WORKINGS CONSIST OF THREE ADITS AT THE STAR OF THE WEST VEIN (325 FT, 1,000 FT, AND 900 FT LONG); AT THE ARCTIC VEIN THERE IS ONE INCLINE SHAFT AND A 200 FT ADIT

Comments on development

  • "REDISCOVERY" OF THE DISTRICT OCCURRED IN 1880 WHEN THE NEVADA MINING CO ACQUIRED THE GOLD PARK GROUP AND BUILT A SMALL STAMP MILL. IN 1919, R. S. TODD TOOK OVER AND ORGANIZED THE STAR OF THE WEST MINING CO AND INSTALLED A 50 TPD MILL IN 1921. IN 1927, PRESENT OWNERS BOUGHT THE PATENTS AT TAX SALE.
