Show VALUABLE MAP OF PIOCO FOUND Index to Raymond and Ely Property Found Under Dust of Years. Ploche In the old days was one of the greatest mining camps in the world, Its many millions of dollars In precious minerals min-erals coming from Innumerable miles of deep mine workings, tho majority of which arc cither forgotten or ho severely obliterated by caving that they might as well not exist, Ono of tho famous old properties Is the Raymond and Ely, which now Is a part of the Consolidated Ploche company's possessions. Work ha been started by this new organization to open some of the former workings and get to the depths of the mine without delay. While poking around In a pile of ex-tromely ex-tromely dusty and yellow maps In ono of the ofllces of this city on Tuesday, Murray Mur-ray C. Godbe, ono of the stockholders of the Consolidated Ploche, ran across a map giving a complete diagram of the Raymond Ray-mond and Ely workings, disclosing drifts and crosscuts which nothing but expensive expen-sive labor could otherwise have brought to view 'again. This map, therefore, there-fore, Is of almost priceless value to the new company, and It affords an Immediate Imme-diate Index to the property that was most eagerly seined upon by Mr. Godbc. Tho Pioche district looks upon the Consolidated Con-solidated Ploche company as one of its principal hopes for the future, and the company Is now engaged In work that Is very Important both to Itself and camp. |
