The Clarkson Mine, owned by a St. Louis Company, is located about three quarters of a mile east of the Sixes mine, on lot 225, 15th district. Work was begun, here, in 1871; but it was continued, only a short time. The prospecting consists of two tunnels, one, fifty feet, and the other, 350 feet long, and a shaft, eighty feet deep. Several tons of ore were taken from these excavations, and milled, on a stamp-mill, erected near by. In a small open cut, there is an exposure of the vein, which, at this point, presents a width of about two feet. It consists of a dark-colored, laminated, granular quartz, resembling quartzite.
