The concept is simple- since most of the major ore veins at Aurora were visible at the surface, traceable for hundreds of feet. Clemens, and others, assumed that there were just as many “blind leads” that could be found only by prospecting, so Clemens and partners spent much time digging trenches and pits to look for the elusive smaller gold- silver veins that could not be found by looking at outcrops at the surface. Living in Aurora was not cheap. It cost Clemens $8-10/ week to live in Aurora, so he roomed with another prospector, Horatio Phillips. Clemens lived the life of a young prospector, getting worn out each day. “The pick and the shovel are the only claims I have confidence in now. My back is sore and my hands blistered…” 2 Sam Clemens Mining Claims Clemens was exceptionally active in prospecting, staking, buying and trading local mining claims, as would be any eager prospector looking to discover a new “lead” or vein.

DAY 2 Saturday, June 23 Minerals Among the incredibly important Comstock specimens is one labeled “Amalgam” – an agglomerated blob of silvery material, which was recorded as being found in a creek bed near the Keystone Mine near Gold Hill in the Comstock District. It would be a unique specimen in any collection, as it records a point in history when the precious metal ores of the Comstock, and countless other districts around the world, were critically dependent on the use of mercury to recover gold and silver from crushed ores, leaving a lasting environmental legacy. The Con-Virginia Dayton Consolidated Ore Specimen Collection is probably the last of the great mining company specimen collections known to exist in its entirety, and it represents a snapshot in time of the important mining commodities and locations of its day. Whoever assembled it – probably Zeb Kendall – and whenever it was completed (c1940) it is evident today that great care was taken to preserve and present this history for posterity.
