This interesting region has come quite prominently into public notice
within the past two years. The district is located in a small range of
mountains about 35 miles east of the Calico range. The nearest station
to the mines is Lavic, on the line of the A. & P. R. R., from which
point the mines are 9 miles distant by a good wagon road. Like most
other desert mining regions it is destitute of timber, and water is not
abundant, though obtainable in the dry lake basin 3½ miles from the
mines. The district was discovered about nine years since, and numerous
claims have been located. The work of development has been confined to a
few of the most promising claims.
