The Half Moon mine is situated south of the Geneva and east of the Anchoria-Leland. It is owned by the Matoa Gold Mining Company, of Colorado Springs, incorporated in 1892, with a capital of $1,000,000. The company owns the Half Moon, Harlan H., and Gold Pass No. 1 claims, with other property in Arequa Gulch. Ore was discovered in the Half Moon in 1893 at a depth of 250 feet, and shipments were made at intervals for about five years.
