From Weber: "Rio Vista-Central-England Claims. The Rio Vista, Central, and England claims are the southernmost claims of the Ord Mountain mine property. The Rio Vista and Central claims are contiguous and lie along the trace of the Coupon Ledge of the Ord Mountain fissure vein system, which strikes northward along the west slope of Ord Mountain (fig. 29). The Central is the more
northerly of the two claims and abuts the Coupon claim, which lies to its north. The England claim lies west of the Central claim. The part of the Coupon Ledge explored by workings of these claims dips about 70ยฐ east and is quite variable in width. The Ledge comprises a series of closely spaced, nearly parallel, mineralized faults, the principal of which compose a fault zone that separates extrusive metavolcanic rocks of the Ord Mountain Group on the east and hybrid rocks and keratophyre of the Ord Mountain Group on the west. Within this fault zone, in the north part of the Rio Vista claim, have been found the principal ore bodies worked in the Ord Mountain mine (pi. 1) .
The principal workings of these claims are in the S1/2NE1/4 sec. 24, T. 7 N., R. 1 E., S.B.M., and consist of an upper and a lower part, which together comprise four levels (pi. 2)"
The coordinates are for the center of the claim based on Weber's map.

That did not stop collectors from removing a significant chunk of that bench more than a meter deep and 30cm high. References: |
