per end of Butte City, lies the Licking
ton mine, also one of the great silver
properties of former times. This mine
is more properly to be termed a
group" for it comprises a number of
original claims. These are the Allie
Brown, Atlantic, Wild Pat, Angela
Louisa, Chinook, part of the Wappelo
and the Lexington. They are all old
locations, the Lexington and Wappelo
dating from 1865
1t Is not an easy matter to trace with
accuracy the history in detail of these
old claims, but it seems that at an
early day they became the property of
Judge A. ]. Davis. The earlier work
ings were exceptionally rich and Judge
Davis disposed of the property to
company of French capitalists for the
sum of $1,250,000. This company was
the Societe Civile des Mines de Lexin-
ton, afterwards transformed, or reor-
ganiZed, into the Societe Anonyme des
Mines de Lexington, but it has been
better known as the Lexington Mining
company.
This property lies upon lode separ-
ate and distinct from that of the Alice.
