1968
Nov. 1 Sagesen Cr. to Peavine Mtn, Nevada & Return (cont.)
road that I had followed past the dome shaped
reservoir to the "big shaft". The turn off is to the
north down through the basin immediately
behind an earth fill dam on Peavine creek. The
road climbs up the other side of the basin &
climbs the mtn via switchbacks to a point
where [illegible] I could see the several vertical
shafts that John Spencer & I had hiked to
on March 10, 1968 (see notes). This is probably
an easier route to these shafts than we
had followed. Several other mining
dumps & etc could be seen down canyon
from these shafts.
