 The location is among the oldest in the district. It is the northeast cxten. sion of the McCabe- Gladstone mines. which are now producing four ear loads of ore day. which average in value from s3j to $50 ,o the ton in gold and silver. The great McCabc.Glad. stone vein. which is opened to depth of almost 1000 feet. for three quarters of n mile. passes through the ground. and it was this fact that induced John S. Reilly. while superintendent of the NcCabc mine. and familiar with its underground workings, and the trend eff its vein. to purchase an interest in the property from the other owners who were not possessed of sunicicn, means to develop it.
 The vein runs in a northcastcrly and southwestcrly direction. and can bc traced for n distance of over two miles. being located for the entire dis. tance, all of the claims covering it be- ing held under United States patent. Two short drifts run from the sj and l25 foot levels of the shaft on the Jim Crow show n well defined paystrcak which samples well in gold and silver. The ledge is also developed by iO foot shaft, upoa which work was aband. oncd some years ago. and which is now savcd in.
 In addition to the mineral rights. the claim includes within its boundaries a spring in which there K never failing supply of pure water at all seasons of the year.
 The Columbus mine lies immediately southeast of and adjoining the Jim Crow. IL is developed by a 600 foot shaft, sunk on parallel vein to thc ledge iravcrsng the Jim Crow claim.
 Both properties are held under Tinted States patent, their surface being the townsitc of the town of McCabc. the business portion of tho town being situated on the Jim Crow.
 A good wagon road passing through the town connects the camp and sur rounding district with Huron. the near. est accessible railroad station on inc Bradshaw Mountain railroad. The pre-. liminary survey for a railrnnd from the main line passes over inc claims and the prospects are that its consiruc ton will be commenced in the near fu- hrc. 9s number of other properties In the district are entering the pro ducing class since the great revival in inc district caused ny the blowing in of inc plant of the Arizona Smelling compppy at Humboldt, only four miles to the east, which created n home mar ket for the product of the mines.
