R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal March 11 Peavine Mtn, Washoe Co., Nevada (Cont.) location is quite a ways up hill from where I first encountered the fence. I then followed the rd down(s) to where I had left it earlier today, & then I crossed the fence line and headed down a side ridge (sw) that leads directly to the "big shaft" where N.K. Johnson & J. Spencer had once found finches. There were no finches present. Uphill (south) I found another vertical shaft (20 ft. deep). I returned to the big shaft & headed west on a small dirt road which On this ridge are a number of workings & an open grove of Jeffrey Pine. None of the workings include a vertical shaft suitable for rosy finches) can be seen heading west & up over a ridge. I left the big shaft at 10:30 AM following the rd at 1st, then taking a side (rt.) road up hill toward 3 prospects I had seen while descending the next ridge east (the one with the barbed wire fence). After checking the prospects I continued up this rd to the main ridgetop & cut crosscountry over into a large canyon (running N-S). I descended this to its mouth & explored a mine dump (copper) to the left(east) of the mouth. Then I cut downhill & east to a road which was the same one I had started on when leaving the big shaft. In route I passed a small pond (damed) on the left(N). In route I saw a pair of chipmunks, a flock of white-crowned sparrows & a sharp-shinned hawk. I left the big shaft for the car at 12 noon. I took a half hour to explore a dirt road up into a canyon east
