Summary:
This Drawing Accompanied the Write Up On the Hard Cash Mining Company in the October 31, 1897 Los Angeles Herald Newspaper. There were two Hard Cash Mining Groups Having Some of the Same Owners in Both Groups. It Appears That Eventually the Hard Cash Mining Company Inc. Purchased the Interests of Those Parties Not Affiliated With It and Both Groups Came Under the Management of the Hard Cash Mining Company Inc. It is Not Known Which Location This Drawing Is From.
1962: LOCATED SW1/4NW1/4 sec. 1, T30S, R40E, MDM, Rand district, in Fiddlers Gulch, 1 mile southeast of Randsburg. Two patented claims and 4 unpatented claims. Principal shaft is 250-feet deep on an incline of 60 degrees NE. Drifts a few tens of feet long have been extended northwest on the 80 and 150 foot levels.
