Comments on the location information

  • Original NAD27 lat/long 48-30N 118-50W is very imprecise and plotted in Ferry county. The stated political location in the record is Okanogan county. Geonames has no entry. Mindat.org has much information on this mine, including lat/long to the second (48?21'44"N , 118?52'28"W) that agrees with the PLSS coords. The mindat lat/long coordinates were substituted for the originals.
