Comments on the location information

  • IN FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION. DESCRIPTION GIVEN IN CROWLEY, AS 6,500 FT NORTHWEST OF PINE CONE PROSPECT, PUTS THIS PROSPECT FAR TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE DEFINED BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT. THAT DESCRIPTIVE LOCATION WAS ASSUMED TO BE OFF BY A FACTOR OF 10. IF ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION IS CORRECT, DEPOSIT IS MUCH FARTHER NORTHWEST OF MAYFLOWER MINE THAN GIVEN
