| Deposit | THERE IS A CONFLICT IN THE LITERATURE AS TO THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE MIDCONTINENT #1 MINE. HILPERT (1969) AND ANDERSON (1980) CONSIDER IT TO BE THE LUCKY STRIKE MINE. CHENOWETH (1974) AND MCLEMORE (1983) STATE IT IS A SEPERATE MINE, LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1-1 1/2 MILES TO THE EAST. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT |
