      General notes:
      Plat Map shows a claim with a written size of 18.849 Acres that I know can't be correct so I assumed the 1 is a typo and it should have been 8.849 Acres. But in the Hill's 1903 Manualette it is said to be 4.50 Acres in size, and in Morning Times Newspaper of September 22, 1899 I read that W. B. Jenkins gave Mining Deed to Rose Nicol G. M. Co. his Interest in this and two other lodes for $25,000. And it appears that the part he gave is the part that make up a elusive claim named Gurley, but which is on no Official Maps that I have been able to find. South end of this claim is carved out so to speak for that Gurley, and the USGS 1906 Underground Workings map has a Gurley Tunnel in that south portion, and two shafts marked as Dexter 2 & Dexter 3, with a unnamed Shaft slightly further north fitting with a Dexter 1, which also would then fitt info in the 1902 Hill's Manualette...
      graphic for visual presentation of text These Shafts also are visible on the 1903 USGS map, which had Dexter marked further North so clearly that map is having an error on the ID number it used!
      graphic for visual presentation of text Depending on how correct I am able to twist the old 1903 map even the Discovery Shaft appears on the 1903 topo-map, while on the Plat Map only the Discovery Shaft are shown.
