	Karrick moved south of the Kilbourne Range and found "streck" ore which he followed west until coming upon larger deposits. Four shafts were dug with the largest being 5x10 feet. Water posed an immediate problem. Karrick began with a chain pump powered by hand then put in a "gin" with oxen for power and whiskey barrels for buckets.
