Here you have a great Claim to work, "Big Bertha" NMC1137071, with a lot to keep a person busy, but easy access to the actual workings to get started. You have a giant cut, at a higher point on the Claim, with access from lower down on the Claim, by means of a hard rock, Adit cut, thats stable to gain access to the pit. You have at least 600 feet of workings that is easily accessible. You can work the veins, explore the Tailings, and not have to go underground, all in the same day. Excellent air flow. We invite you to sample the Claim, before bidding, so you can determine the value of the Claim for yourself. There is a plethora of Quartz Rock. There is also some visible Gold present on the Claim. In this area the mines had a a lot of Silver in addition to Gold. There were several Mills constructed in this area and District to process the Ore that was gained from Mines like this. The whole Claim is in good shape and looks stable. This Claim was, from what we can find, worked as a smaller part of the general area back in the early 1900's and then it appears, to have been active again later in the Century. Mining data on these older mines are sporadic at best. Back in the day, working these Mines was not a cheap venture. The old mining towns and camps were expensive to live in, so when you had a mine, with the type of equipment that was used back then, in many cases a bucket, pick axe and a shovel, you worked the easily accessible minerals, that were available,and moved onto another area as it was not cost effective to stay. Not withstanding other minerals, such as Silver, the cost of Gold in present times, exceeding over $1000.00 an ounce, it is worthwhile to work these old Mines and Tailings, as a small amount of Gold could be recovered in a small period of time, to profit the original investment. With these older Mines, there are still valuable minerals to be had, with a little bit of work. There are other high grade shallow cuts on the property, so you have them to work in addition to the Main mine. On top of that, with this Claim going up the hill, and the mines are located as your going higher, you have several nice wash areas to work, which is a lot of times overlooked, as lots of the excavated materials are washed down. This a Claim is to be enjoyed for years to come. This area and Claim is surrounded by many other Historical Mines and Mills of known past producing claims, such as the J.GJ Mill, Confidence Prospect, Fesler Prospect, Richmond Chief Prospect, Hector Prospect, Victoria Prospect, Piper Prospect, Golden Queen, Titan Mill, Inter. Precious Metals Mine, Lida Queen Mine, Rosemilas Mines and camp and many more. There truly are too many past producers to list that have been deemed by the USGS Historical and known occurrences of minerals such as Gold, Silver and Copper have been located to list. Once again, we invite you to go sample the Claim before bidding to get an idea of what is there for yourself.
