Comments on the location information

  • NOTE: WDMG BULL. 37 REPORTS THIS PROSPECT IN SEC. 24, T. 22 N., R. 14 E. THIS BULLETIN USES TWO REFERENCES WHICH MAY NOT BE THE SAME PROPERTY. HODGES REPORTES THE PROPERTY ON HOWSON GULCH. HOWEVER, THE PRESENT TOPO MAPS SHOW HOWSON CREEK AS A DIFFERENT DRAINAGE THAN THE ONE IDENTIFIED BY HODGES. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH SALMON LA SAC CREEK IS THE CREEK NAMED AS HOWSON BY HODGES. THEREFORE, THE LOCATION OF THIS RECORD IS PROBABLY IN ERROR.
