Lot of 32. All are on the same Ore Assay Report form. Reports are from April to May 1867. Ore samples coming from a huge number of different mills: Booth, Santiago, Devils Gate, Mariposa, Central, Atchison, Manhattan, DeLands, Empire State, Granite, Bowers, Eureka, Savage, Merrimac, Temelec, Rigbys, Pioneer, Woodworth, Daney, and Island. Some samples marked as "Dump." A few of the forms are signed by CJ Robinson as assayer. The silver to gold ration is 2-2.5:1. The top of the deposit was gold rich. The ratio dropped to 10-20:1 with depth, particularly by the late 1880s (FH). Each is 9.5 x 7" This is a fantastic archive of this important Comstock mine and provides a great cross-section of the milling operations on the Comstock in the 1860s.
