| Deposit | STOSE AND STOSE (1957) PLOTTED 2 PROSPECTS ALONG A BARITE TREND ON THE MOORE FARM. THEY GAVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE SOUTHERN PROSPECT (MOORE PROSPECT #1) LOCATED "ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF A SMALL STREAM FLOWING WEST THROUGH THE PROPERTY." THEY LOCATE A NORTHERN PROSPECT (MOORE PROSPECT #2) ON THIS SAME BARITE ZONE, BUT GIVE NO DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BECAUSE 2 SEPARATE LOCATIONS WERE SHOWN BY STOSE AND STOSE, A DETAILED FIELD EXAMINATION OF THE AREA WAS CONDUCTED. NO PROSPECT OR INDICATION OF ANY WORKINGS WERE FOUND. NO HISTORY WAS KNOW BY LOCAL RESIDENTS ABOUT THIS PROSPECT. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 3 FIELD OBSERV; 5 PERS COMM |
