This is apparently based on the observation that previous owners had exploited only the main body, neglecting adjacent fractures and structures of considerable promise. _____ Laid in are three folding plans of the mine, apparently done in manuscript on a wax-type paper. _____ The KOFA mine had been a thriving operation from the discovery of gold in 1896 until 1910 when declining gold prices made it unprofitable._____ We can find no evidence that this 1922 sales pitch made money for anyone but the pitchers._____ . _____ ._____.
