| General | A.B. Wilson fixed the coordinates (so the longitude plots in North America, not Asia) and updated the record to describe the Green Mountain (a.k.a. Wilkinson District) mineralized area at Green Mountain Reservoir on the west side of the highway between Silverthorne and Kremmling. Big Four mine is the only known mine in the 'district.' |
