 Leaving this camp we went over to a group of gold claims, thirty-two in number, four miles distant from the copper camp. These claims are owned by Messrs. Osborne and Butler and consist of a number of parallel ledges. The surface in places shows forty and fifty feet in width of ledge matter. and they can betraced by shallow openings through the length of several claims. though covered up by surface wash in places between. The openings consist of shafts from ten to thirty-ive feet in depth. The ore, while not high grade, shows good values taken across tho full width of the opening, some high grade ore having been encountered, one sample having run as high as S144, but the general average of surface samples have run between s4 and s10. There are streaks that will run well in copper and most of the developments show some copper through the ore. A wagon could be driven all over these claims.
 These two groups are only from eight to thirteen miles respectively from the Colorado river Tn a straight line, while there is steamer landing called called Mack's landing. which is about fifty miles below Mellen.
