Comments on the location information

  • SOUTH SLOPE OF BRIDGER MOUNTAINS. The two RME reports disagree on locaiton. RME-3125 says T39N, R97W, S. Slope of Bridger Mtns. uranophane in recent conglomerate. RME-3137 says 39N, 92W (which is nearly 30 miles farther east), and uranophane-like. In order to be in the Copper Mountain district, the range should be 92W. Lat/long Coordinates corrected to 92W.
  • This record stated PLSS was 4N, 3W with Wind River meridian. ABW corrected to 39N, 92W per cited reference RME-3137.
