General notes:
Plat Map is early so not much is shown. But, it shows a claim divided into two parts by another claim, with the Discovery Shaft in the west part together with a Ore House partly outside the claims northwestern border with a Adit some a short distance southeast of that. Direction of that adit is toward a Shaft inside the lost ground, drawn as Carbonate Queen claim, while west of that and south of the discovery shaft there is shown a second short Adit and south of that again a third Shaft is drawn in.
The F. & C.C grade would just pass by on the west side, while the M.T. seems to have crossed just east of the discovery shaft when I overlay the tracks drawn on my 1902 claims overview map unto the claim map. By year of 1900, the Low Line and Short Line grade would also pass over the western part of this claim, across the area between the ore house and the connected adit, and some distance west of the discovery shaft. I've seen and shown on upper right hand side an image of an old Shaft House type near the discovery shaft, or at the discovery shaft, hard to make it out for sure. Might also be on a crossing claim named Sunset, as that claim cross some of the southwestern part of the Eclipse claim, and I've seen this mine talked about as the Sunset-Eclipse mine.
