Hi Ray- and all ==

Reading through some great little tidbits on the Mines and Mineral Resources
of Mariposa- 1915 Mines and Mineral Resources, California State Mining
Bureau-- I find-

page 175- Granite-

Granite abounds in large quantities in Mariposa County of the same variety
as the famous granite at Raymond in Madera county but it is so far from
transportation that it is not able to compete at present with more favorably
situated. A granite property consisting of 50 acres of patented land
located in Sec 30, T. 6 S. R. 19 E., M.D.M. was located in 1906 by Guido
VIGNALO but was deeded to the State in taxes.

It is 1.5 miles by wagon road frm Raymond and the granite is the same as
that of the Raymond granite but is not being worked-

Best, Carolyn
