Old Magna Charta mine near Mill City sparkles with ore promise
J C Harris and Nicky Gill, seasoned miners, worked the Magna Charta in Santa Clara District Humboldt range eight miles from Mill City. They uncovered ore drift over ten feet with ore likely averaging near $100 a ton, renewing belief in a valuable mine once thought a top Humboldt elasma. Old reports say the lead resembled Comstock and a prior owner abandoned after $30 per ton milling.
