The recently opened War Eagle and Ramona property is situated on the southwestern slope of Bull Hill, about 250 feet below the summit. It is worked by lessees, who in 1903 extracted a considerable amount of ore from a surface pit and in 1904 opened a vein system found below this surface ore. The production. from April, 1903, to April, 1904, is stated to be about $45,000. The developments consist of the War Eagle shaft, 58 feet deep and connecting on that level with the 150-foot Ramona shaft, situated 300 feet to the northeast. The elevation of the collar of the War Eagle shaft is about 10,528 feet. The workings are chiefly contained in the somewhat shattered granite of Bull Hill, but also reach, near War Eagle shaft, the breccia contact, which here is sharply defined. A drift has been run on this contact for about 100 feet northwest of the shaft. All of the rocks are very much oxidized.
