one picturesque tree at the southwest corner of the house died and was 

 removed around 1992, and the last one remains at the northwest corner of the 

 house and is dying. Mary Tiscornia believes that siltation as a result of the 

 flooding in early 1982 killed the trees. 



1. Copper Mines (OV-016 & OV-017) 



Located more than a mile up Copper Mine Gulch on the north part of the 

 ranch property, these copper mines were developed around 1863 and worked 

 until 1917. The remains include two open shafts (now barricaded with metal 

 bars), scattered remains of buildings, concrete foundations for equipment in the 

 creek bed, various rusting machinery and boiler parts, and the road from 

 Highway 1 to the site.
