modern mining plant, mill, and power house. Though considerable
mining was done prior to 1922 the main period of activity followed
that year. Up to 1927 there was shipped from the property, 4,788
tons of hand-sorted ore having a gross value of $523,745. An
output of 2,872 tons in lots of 297, 1,625, and 950 tons prior to
1926 yielded average assays: gold, 1.16 to 0.2 ounce, silver,
116 to 185 ounces a ton; lead, 16 to 26 per cent; and for zinc

in the last lot 14 per cent. 9,500 tons milled in .327 yielded:
37 ounces of silver a ton, 4.8 per cent lead, and 5.2 per cent
zinc. In 1928, 14,980 tons were milled: in 1929, 12,500 tons
were mined and after sorting 10,370 tons were milled. In 1930
about 3,000 tons were produced. Since 1930 the property has
been inactive.

The main deposit from which most of the ore was
obtained is the Henderson (Main) vein or vein system. This
probably has a length of over 2,000 feet. Lay in his 1930
report refers to tie Henderson vein on the Canary claim. It is
not known whether the Henderson vein extends through the interven-
ing Humming Bird claim. If the vein on the Canary claim is the
same then the length would be 2,500 feet greater. The Henderson
vein, however, near the Humming Bird claim, appears to be pinch-
ing out. The part of the vein that has been worked and to which
the better ore is confined is probably about 1,100 fret long,
though an exact description of the system toward the lower end
has not been given. On the surface there is one nearly vertical
vein trending up the mountain and striking about north 62 degrees

east. Below the surface this splits into two, the main vein
