that these latter holes are the ones referred to by Miller.
On the other hand The 5 mine dumps appear to be all horizontal shafts (lower 2 are horizontal, the top 3 have caved in + snow covers the top one besides{can't be sure that the top ones are horizontal}.)
Miller describes the 3 mines as being in Calif., however the 5 dumps & the upper 2 [illegible]
shafts in the other sequence are all in Nevada
according to a new yellow boundary marker +
according to the topographic maps.
On returning to Berkeley I located on old
map (topo: Sierraville Quad, 1894)
30 min.
which had Chats on it.
Chats was located in the NE corners of sec. 9, T22N,
R17E . Specimens collected at The mine have
the designation 2 mi. S & 3 mi. E of Chats. Thus
The location is clear. Following this on the
maps indicates the general area near the mine
but misses them a bit. This location lies in
Calif. + along the route the road follows. No
mines were seen in this area. My guess is that
I was at the correct area & that it is in Nevada
not Calif. However I only found 2, not 3
vertical shafts. My guesses on the caved ins
could be incorrect & thus supply a 3rd shaft.
Deer tracks were everywhere & 9 deer were
seen. Bitterbush has been [illegible] browsed heavily.
