Deposit	FILE SAYS $8,000 WORTH OF CHROMITE MINED IN 1942. THIS SITE MAY BE IN THE GALLAGHER HEAD LAKE AREA AS DESCRIBED IN USGS BUYLL 1542 (P. 164-167). THE MOST LIKELY LOCATION IS AT SAMPLE SITES 14 AND 15, SHOWN ON FIG. 45, SINCE THERE IS VERY LITTLE COPPER AND A LARGE PIT (INFORMATION TAKEN FROM NOTES IN FILE OF 0530370417). THIS RECORD IS PLOTTED AT A PROSPECT SYMBOL ABOUT 500 FT. WEST OF GALLAGHER HEAD LAKE, AS SHOWN ON THE MOUNT STUART 7.5-MIN. TOPO MAP.
