Between the Vindicator and the Golden Cycle mines lies the privately owned Christmas claim. Although a small property, with the only vein thus far productive confined to the southwest corner, the mine has a reported production of $330,000. It is opened by a main shaft with eight levels, the lowest 605 feet below the collar, which has ail elevation of 10,159 feet. The drifting is confined chiefly to the southwest corner of the claim, though there is a crosscut 250 feet long northeast to the Lillie line and a longer crosscut due east to the same line on the 514-foot level.
