What You Are Buying
Six patented lode mining claims, held in fee — sixty acres of deeded ground between roughly 10,800 and 12,120 feet. A patented claim is private land: the federal government conveyed fee title after the original mineral surveys, and it has been privately held ever since. Emporium (MS 1565), Tivoline (MS 4946) and Rainbow (MS 15400) carry 10.33 acres each; Gloucester (MS 15975) carries 8.04. Venetian and Youngster are two of the eight claims covered by MS 11560. Boundaries shown in the topographic, aerial and KML files georeferenced from survey records.

Getting There

Silverton is 7 miles by road or a stunning 4 mile hike; you can walk to town.
Winter on this property is the true adventurer's paradise. If you know, you know.
