Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prospectus for 1883 of the Geneva Grey Copper, Silver and Gold Mining and Milling Company, of Colorado The surface claims are the Revenue, Baltic, Celtic, Republic, Oceanic, Gaelic, Adriatic, Murphy, Hugh Kelley, Best, Dudley, Blue, Little Railroad and the Kelly Dudley lodes, for all of which United States Government patents have been issued, also the Jurassic, Japanic, Occidental and Graphic - all secured in accordance with the United States mining laws, and embracing with the tunnel rights an immense mining territory. Included in the purchase is the property embraced in the following inventory: This Company takes all the ore broken at the mines, estimated at 300 tons, and slag at the smelting works, about 300 tons. The mines have been reported upon by several mining engineers and experts, under whose advice the improvements and developments have been made. Formerly, Mr. E. 0. Old, M. E., of Georgetown, was employed by the then owners of the Eevenue, and in a careful report gave an unhesitating opinion of the great value of this mine and of the merits of the other claims. Later, Mr. Thos. Belt, F. G. S. M. E., of London, England, examined the Revenue and other property as far as then opened, and advised pushing the Britannic tunnel in preference to working from the surface, concluding his report as follows: "Altogether, I consider the Revenue mine, both as regards its production of valuable ore and the great advantages the district offers for the erection of reduction works, the most promising undertaking that came under my notice in Colorado, and am satisfied that if judiciously managed will yield enormous profits." The lodes in the Leviathan tunnel have not been explored as much as they have been in the Britannic, but as in most instances they will be found to be continuations of the veins cut in the Britannic tunnel, the report and descriptions apply generally to the whole property. A record is attached of some mill runs and samples. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
