Commodities

Bentonite Primary

Comments on the commodity information

  • Erroneously designated as a Titanium deposit, but there is NO Titanium in the listed reference (Bull. 50) in this area. Jamison Claim is listed in Bull. 50, p. 18 as a Bentonite prospect. Therefore, A.B. Wilson changed the commodity from titanium to bentonite.
