STATE OF COLORAD <br />Dividion of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St. Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />08 -07 -12 <br />The loss of my home and all my belongings in the Four Mile canyon fire has been a <br />devastating experience. It has left me with a difficult and time consuming effort to <br />recover my bearings and re -align my priorities. <br />While the mine proper was not damaged to any great extent, the mess left by the Public <br />Service and Quest (now Century Link) in replacing poles and cutting down trees in the <br />mine area has been a time consuming job. <br />The security fence around the active area affords me a place to store the crusher, <br />pulveriser and other mine related tools and equipment that were at my residence and were <br />damaged in the fire. Since I no longer reside there, the security of a fence with locked <br />gate is protection against theft. <br />Plans are still in the works to proceed with limited mining if an ATF powder permit can <br />be obtained. I haven't wanted to store explosives if I wasn't in immediate need of them <br />and therefore, in light of the terroist threat and the crazy people that the news media <br />immortalizes every day, I haven't requested an ATF permit yet. <br />Sampeling has shown great potential over the years with a potential in some cymoid <br />structures of over 200 oz Au per ton. These are sample assays and are not valid for <br />production mining. If the environmental push haden't closed down all the smelters in the <br />USA the state of Colorado still has great potential. Which would you rather have? A <br />squeakey clean environment or freedom and jobs? Just a thought. <br />In re- building my house, I am going to need some back fill decomposed granite and dirt <br />and plan to use some of the berm that was built by cleaning out the adit several years ago <br />and then reclaiming the yard between the hoist shed and the old mine shed. A Tough <br />Shed is within the gate on the East side and we may move it to a different location.. <br /># M- 1988 -081 <br />I remain: Sincerely yours, Harry Covey, Owner, Operator Permit <br />
