Comments on the location information

  • D00718 stated that Temple Pass is a synonym for Temple Peak but it places the occurrence nearly 5 miles NW of Temple Peak. Temple Pass is not labeled on the topo map, but it is highly unlikely that it in 5 miles north on the Lizard Head Peak Quadrangle. Therefore, ABWilson moved the location of the unnamed occurence in the Temple Pass area south to the location of the unknown deposit at Temple Peak 0560350051. The description for both records D000718 (10230695) and 0560350051 (10008509) are the same, from p. 136 of Bull. 50.
