JUN 2 8 1966

There are many veins--or small mineralized zones--in the Trigo Mountains (Eureka or Silver District). I have seen some of these on the ground and we have good descriptions of nearly all of them in our files. My conclusion is that since the Revelations vein, which appeared to offer the best possibility for a moderate tonnage of low- grade, did not stand up to ore-grade value: over the width of the mineralized zone, none of the o%hers will be any better. Unless some- thing very new or unusual is brought to our attention, then the entire district is of no further company interest.

The Revelations vein was examined and reported on last summer by myself and Mr. Thompson. Preliminary sampling suggested a well mineralized vein with low-grade values in the hangingwall, which combined might make a small open pit operation of company interest. Following this, Mr. Von Fay laid out a general pattern of short percus- sion drill holes, and this drilling was done in January under the supervision of Mr. Whaley. Although Mr. Whaley has not yet had time to write a final report, the property was rejected when the assays of the hangingwall showed a trivial amount of silver there.

The portion of the Revelations vein which was sampled is approximately 200 feet wide and 1500 feet long. Seventy-seven sample sites were utilized and the vein and hangingwall were cross-cut by lines of sampling at nine locations. Samples were derived generally from dry percussion drill holes which varied from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of lO feet in depth and a few were outcrop samples. A few of the drill sites intersected the vein (about 30 feet wide ) and in these holes the samples showed higher values. The original estimate of about 7 oz./ton of silver is probably correct for the vein itself. The hangingwall, however, is virtually barren-- although it is fractured and locally altered and mineralized by quartz and calcite. The tenor of the hangingwall is less than 1 oz. silver, and more often less than 15 oz. silver. As stated in my report of last summer, the vein itself cannot be considered as an underground operation because the hangingwall is too weak to allow mining by shrinkage stoping-- the only cheap underground method available for its ~idth.

Dear Sir:

On January 5, I was in your office and obtained, on one of our company forms~ a certification of the liability insurance coverage of Messrs. Jess and Don Fisher of Fisher's Landing. At that time you expressed some concern over the wording which states that "if these policies are cancelled or changed in any way that will affect this certificate, ten days prior written notice will be given.., to American Smelting and Refining Company..."

In his letter of January 12 to your office, our Mr. K. A. yon den Steinen assured you that the certif- icate applied only to the specific work covered by our order T-5724, which would be completed well ahead of the August B1, 1966 expiration date of the insurance policy. By copy of that letter, he also instructed me to give you written notice of the completion of the work covered by the order.

This serves as your notice of completion of work requested by our order T-5724, and will relieve you of any notification responsibility concerning the liability insurance coverage of Messrs. Jess and Don Fisher as described in your certification of January 5, 1966.

Very truly yours,
