Comments on the location information

  • NOTE: THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE REPORTED (ESTIMATED?) LEGAL LOCATION AND THE NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION GIVEN IN THE FILE. THE NARRATIVE LOCATION PLACES THIS MINE SOMEWHERE IN T. 2 S., R. 54 E. BECAUSE THE MINE IS A REPORTED PAST PRODUCER OF MERCURY, IT IS LIKELY THE MINE IS IN THE VICINITY OF OTHER IDENTIFIED MERCURY MINES ON A SMALL HILL 2 MILES NW OF QUEEN CITY SUMMIT. THE LOCATION OF THIS RECORD IS APROXIMATE.
