Comments on the location information

  • Original political location in record was Cascade county. However, lat/long plots 1050 meters inside adjacent Judith Basin county. Without checking the references, it is possible the deposit extends into Cascade county, so Judith Basin county was added and promoted to first place to resolve the lat/long - county disagreement.
