The Silver Chief #1 and #2 were recorded at the request of Woodbury July 1st 1922.

Woodbury also filed claim on the Iron Mountain #1 in the early 1930s with Lobb.

Wayne,

Managed to find my record of the Silver Chief. It comes from the files of Greg Davis, by way of Jack Carlson.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally found the Woodbury Claim papers for the Silver Chief Mine
in Rogers Canyon. They are in the Pinal County Recorder, Record of
Mines Book #36, pages 117-120. Dated May 25, 1919.

The Woodbury's (actually Abbie Hatch) list them as Silver Chief and
Silver Chief #2, #3, and #4. They also list a "Rock Cabin Claim" that
is probably the area to the east and down slope where we found the
ruins of some stone structures. Rock Cabin Claim adjoins the Silver
Chief #4 on the west side.

I made a note on one of the claim papers that they switched the
position of the Silver Chief and Silver Chief #2 within their own
claim papers on one of the documents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you been to the Silver Chief........are you sure?

I believe there were different names back in the 1800s. What's really interesting, is the description of the location on the claim forms.

Have fun,

Joe

And you find nothing odd, coincidental or strange with the Woodbury paperwork over those years?

Wayne,

No.....nothing odd at all. Since that's the only Woodbury document I have ever seen, it looks just fine.

Give us the scoop.

Same Dutch Hunter who mentions the Spanish mines around White and Iron Mountain in 1953 was a witness to the claims I made previous mention of on those dates.

Herman Petrasch witnessed the above mentioned claims and spoke of spanish mines in some particular places in that area.

I do not know his involvement or interest, but it is intriguing it happens over a 15 year time span.

Coincidence?
