Comments on the location information

  • Badly mislocated in MAS about 30 mi too far north. The prospect is on the south side of Como Ridge in T22N, R77W (it was incorrectly located in T27N, R77W). Bull. 50 states that the prospect is in the NW4 of Sec. 20 in Albany Co. but that section is on the dividing line of Albany and Carbon Counties with the section in Carbon County.
