Show liio Cottonwood. Mr. 11. C. UulNiincr, recorder, furnishes the fol-luwiug fol-luwiug data with reference to this district dis-trict for the year 1871 ; Whole number of mining claims refolded re-folded up to October 10, 30$. Mill sites recorded, 8. One smelting establishment completed. com-pleted. Tuuuel locations made aud recorded, 21; upon all of which work to some ex-, tent was douo. The early advent of heavy mioivs, before tho miners were prepared for winter working, suspended operations, except upon a few claims, until the spring opens. It is expected, however, that during the coming summer work upon many of tho mines will bo prosecuted prose-cuted to such an extent that will admit of their being worked throughout the winters. We know, from personal ob-t-ervation, that the mines arc sufficiently sufficient-ly rich and extensive to warrant what-, ever oost of preparation may be ueces-S3iy ueces-S3iy to guard against a blockade of operations op-erations by 6now storms. |
