Comments on the site identification

  • Deleted record MAS 0560110124 (newMRDS 10230028) was named as "A.A. Sisson" and gave Teton Exploration and Drilling as the owner-operator for the A.A. Sisson. No way to confirm this information. The only reference in the record was to RME-4016, and that information is not contained therein. Also, according to the map on p. 14, A.A. Sisson only owns prperty in the S2 of SE4 SEc. 8, Se4 of SW4 of Sec. 8, SW4 of SW4 of Sec. 9, and NE4 Sec. 7. Coordinates given for the deleted A.A. Sisson record (44-39-59, -104-4-59) do not fall within these areas, but in S2 of SW4 of sec. 17.Wm. Sisson owns property in Sec. 8, 16, and 17. Myrtle Sisson owns additional acreage. (As of 1953).
  • MINOBRAS, 1976 does not differentiate which deposit is the Sisson, Heetland, Nelson, or Helmer (see p. 40).
