Casserly and secretary H. Aug. Whiting. Not cancelled. Lith. Britton, Rey & Co. Folds, pinholes, toning. 4 x 8.5" Eugene Casserly was a journalist, lawyer, and U.S. Senator from California. The mine was discovered by Jackson McCracken (notice slight spelling difference) in 1874. Located twelve miles from Greenwood, six miles north from Bill Williams Fork. Owned three claims: the Alta, Senator, and Palmetto, on the crest of a mountain. In 1879, it was reported as having a shaft 365 ft. deep, and the vein explored with many tunnels.
