History

​

1911 Stafford Mining Co

The mining district is known for numerous gold mines dating back as early as the 1800's.  Both lode and placer mining took place in the area and is evidenced by many old mine shafts dotting the surrounding hillsides.  Placer gold was also mined within the district, however due to a lack of technology in dry desert gold recovery during the 1800's the old timers left plenty of gold in the ground.  The claim was not mined on a large scale as their is little evidence of surface disturbance in the dry washes in addition to over 100 additionally years of erosion and weathering during the monsoon season since the old time miners were active in the area.  This lends to fresh gold being deposited within the timeframe of the late 1800's to present day.

​

Topography

The claim features steep mountain sides that range from 300-400 vertical feet from the east floor.  There is one main wash running thru the claim and xxx smaller, shallower, and more rocky washes that flow into the main wash.  

​

Not only is the main wash gold bearing, but the secondary washes are easier to mine due to lack of overburden and the gold is much larger and coarser due to the relatively short distance of travel from the in-situ deposit.
