The C. 0. D. mine, operated by the Rebecca Gold Mining Company, is one of the oldest mines of the district. In 1894, when Penrose examined it, the depth attained was 220 feet. At the present time the shaft is 800 feet deep, ten levels are turned, and the total developments consist of about 4,000 feet of drifts, extending chiefly northward; level 8 attaining a distance of 600 feet from the shaft. The elevation of the collar is 9,821 feet. Except in a very limited way by lessees, the mine was not worked in 1903 or 1904.
