These Patented Mining Claims are among some of the earliest and best claims in the area. The famous Grizzly Tunnel went nearby and it is within walking distance to the renowned Stevens Mine and Santiago Mine. The Santiago claims are currently for sale at $33,000,000! Based on mineral values (Gold, Silver, Zinc, Lead) the Ralpha Leta / Kelso Claims are believed to have comparable reserves but can be had for the value of the real estate alone! Keep in mind these are Patented Mining Claims, you will own 100% of the Surface Rights as well as 100% of the Mineral Rights. Meaning unlike unpatented mining claims you don’t have to file on and show improvements to them yearly. You simply pay taxes on the property and own it outright. Current taxes are Ralpha Leta $15.38/yr, Ora Bell $18.06/yr, Mamie $14.72/yr. |

He passed me these claims years ago along with the background geological reports, maps and invaluable research he did on them. Some of that information is available here and original documents and/or copies will be made available to buyer. |

Gold Rush Expeditions has photos and history of one of the Unpatented mining claims staked to support the Patented Mining Claims on the summit (unpatented means you get mineral rights but no rights to the surface or ownership of the land which is why they are so much cheaper, you don't own them.). Gold Rush Expeditions restaked Ed's claims and sold them here: Last here are the Clear Creek County surveys of the area that show rough property boundaries. |
