General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit VERY FINE FLAKE GOLD STREAKS ARE FOUND ON TOP OF GRAVELS IMMEDIATELY BELOW 8 FT OF BARREN MATERIAL.
General Wilson and Heran attempted to locate this claim 9-aug-2010. With imagination, it appears that the ground could have been worked or dredged long ago. There is no sign of any recent (previous half century) workings.
