Comments on the site identification

  • Uncertain if Del Oro #2 (10157440) is ths same as Del Oro (10108470). ABW left 2 separate records, but if anyone has more information, perhaps they should be combined. Del Oro #2 could also be the same as Ketchum Butte, the prospect on the topo in center E2 of Sec. 8.
