Comments on the location information

  • THIS IS NOT THE COLQUITT-TIGNER MINE, AS LABELED ON THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TOPOGRAPHIC MAP. MAY BE PART OF WALDRON MINE. [note by A.B. Wilson. Waldron mine is a synonym for Colquitt-Tigner, therefore this mine is likely a working related to the Waldron/Colquitt-Tigner. Comment in MRC-73 makes clear that those authors thought these mines were not part of the same complex.]
