Shamrock Mine Progress Near Prospect Creek Camp
The Shamrock mining party reports crosscuts at 300 feet depth with a 40 foot wide ledge and 4 foot rich streak.

Eastern visitors laud prospects as Shamrock Mining Co. advances six claims near Troy, and camp facilities sustain workers and hospitality.
