The Greeley Mines Year in Review
A survey of Greeley area mining notes a prosperous year with reduced sulphurets. The great vein runs north east to south west over thirty miles, with many claims along the main lode. Mines such as Hogarty La Grange Inman and Eaton showcase varied yields, timbering, and improvements while Lone Tree opens promising new districts with rich crevices and rising activity.
