NOTICE:
Due to the high grade nature of the gold ore stockpiled on this claim,the area is patrolled and monitored. This Federal Mining Claim is located, recorded, and maintained in accordance with 43 C.F.R. Part 3800 and 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.; 43 U.S.C. 1744 and all appropriate state laws. All persons are warned that disturbance of the monuments, surface, or improvements on this claim or removal of minerals of any type without permission of the claimant(s), will result in their prosecution under the appropriate state and federal statutes. HISTORY: The London Mine Group was developed on pollymetallic quartz veins associated with the Great London Fault. According to documentation by Singewald and Butler (1941) the ore mined between 1895 and 1910 averaged 2.895 opt gold, 2.858 opt silver, 4.13 % lead, 2.66 % zinc, 4.85 % iron, 6.11 % sulfur, and 76.8 % silicon. The most recent reports published by the Colorado Geological Survey state that remaining mine and stockpile resources range from 0.10 to 0.41 opt gold having a weighted average of 0.19 opt gold. Most of the Tonko #1 CMC289770 mining claim was formerly known as the Jewett #1 CMC94664 and the Jewett #2 CMC94665 mining claims that were held by London Mine Venture from 1935 through 1991. The stockpile on Tonko #1 was estimated by Behre Dolbear & Company, Inc. in a report dated March of 1985 to contain 172,000 tons of gold ore! MINING CLAIM MAP: GOOGLE EARTH VIEW OF CLAIM: HIGH GRADE SORTING OF ORE: This photo shows the limited number of employees hand sorting out the exceptionally high grade ore being transported from the mine. Only the highest grades of visible gold ore were hand picked off of the conveyor belt and shipped out for processing. The mine had taken out all processing equipment after World War I due to high taxation. The gold ore stockpile was created by using a small mining train that traveled about 1/4 mile uphill from the sorting facility and dumped along the mountainside for future processing. The round-trip for stockpiling was about 1/2 mile and the volume of ore that was stored now looms over the local area. Since the hand sorting crew wore thick gloves and the speed of the conveyor belt moved exceptional specimens right past the sorting crew, substantial volumes of exceptionally high grade ore was subsequently transported out to the stockpile.

I went up to my claim on Wednesday to get some drone photos. There was a man and woman walking near the blockade and a couple of cars were parked outside the gate along the road. Nobody stopped me but I became very concerned about the dangerous conditions that have been created on that blind corner. There were children's bikes with training wheels, unlicensed vehicles and heavy equipment alongside or upon the travel surface of the road at that green gate. It appears that someone is now living "on" the road. Anyone traveling up there needs to use extra caution!
I filed a complaint via Email yesterday morning with the Park County Right-Of-Way Division. Here's their link; Park County Road Right-Of-Way Division The Park County GIS data clearly shows the county and USFS ownersip of 696 all the way up to the top of Mosquito Pass. This would be a good visual aid if you're meeting with authorities on this matter. The light green dashed line is USFS road that meets up with Park County 12 at the summit of Mousquito Pass. This road is also a Designated Snowmobile Route as depicted on the current Pike National Forest map. reinhold, I appreciate your efforts to follow-up on this. This problem needs to be resolved before someone crashes into the gate or worse! ASTROBLEME -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008
