---

A sharply crystalized deep yellow gold specimen with good luster. The De Maria mine is located in the same deposit as the Eagle's Nest mine. Some of the claims which make up the Eagle's Nest mine were located shortly after the turn of the century and in the early literature were referred to as the Garbe and deMaria mine (correctly written as DeMaria). At that time the mine was operated by Mr. Louis Garbe and Mr. Clement DeMaria, as partners.
