Very good condition with no obvious flaws. Although spelled differently, there is mention of a property with the name Chrystal in the Mining and Scientific Press Volume 7, December 1863. Besides the Silver Mountain District, there was also the Monitor, Mokelumne, Raymond, and Mogul districts in Alpine County. Hawkins notes that a considerable amount of work has been done in the county in the previous two years.
