Comments on the location information

  • Apparently this "prospect" is in 2 widely separate locations (roughly 3 1/2 mi apart) in NW Sec. 20 and NW Sec. 35. Because they are so separate, there are two entries for this "prospect"
  • Sheep Herder Lode (unpatented) is immediately west and contiguous, in the S2 of NE4 sec. 19 along the ridge from the benchmark at 10,166 ft to the two little summits in Sec. 19 along the ridge.
