idents of the Cliff Mine location who
visited that location yesterday In
search of historical data, report very
enjoyable outing. Although all of the

frequency with which the old houses
were gone over in the past by souvenir
hunters.

the old Cliff cemetery and read The in
scriptions on the tombstones when
are still standing, also visited the old
church on the bluff. Basket lunches
