On the 28th of June, l878-l4
years Messrs. Powell, Hafford
and Edwards came past the black
cliff from which Silver Cliff, Col,
took its name just as heavy rain
storm struck them. They were
hauling lumber and took refuge
under this cliff, where Kit Carson,
whose celebrated fort still stands
three miles to the north. is known
to hsv, waylald and killed several
Arapahoe Indians passing along
the trail. While here eating lunch.
Mr.. Hafford, who was something
of prospector, chipped off piece
of rock, which no found to be
principally horn silver. He stalk
ed the claim and had an assay
made which ran lao ounces.
Being a poor man, he sold it to
Mr.. Bailey of Denver, for $28, 900.
In less than 80 days Bailey had
taken $4,000 worth of silver from
the mine, virtually from grass root
depth, and afterward sold the mine
to Jim Keene for $250,000. The
mine was the first patented in the
camp, having been surveyed by
Carl Wulsten on the day of the
great eclipse of the sun-July 29,
1878.

Mr.. Richards put two rats into cage

Al the outset tho rats appctitcs
