Deposit NOTE: THE NDMI (1982, P. 4) LISTS A HAZEN PIT IN SEC. 27, T. 19 N., R. 26 E., OPERATED BY ROBT. L. HELMS CONSTRUCTION CO. THIS MAY BE THE SAME PIT AS THIS RECORD. ALSO, FROM 1976 THROUGH 1993, NDMI HAS LISTED THIS PIT AS IN LYON COUNTY. HOWEVER, THE LARGE GRAVEL PIT IN SEC. 8, AS SHOWN ON THE HAZEN 7.5-MIN. TOPO MAP, IS CLEARLY IN CHURCHILL COUNTY. FINALLY, NDMI LISTS THE GOPHER PIT (GOPHER CONSTRUCTION CO.) AT THIS SAME SITE FROM 1982 THROUGH 1993. ASSUMING THE MINE INSPECTOR KNEW WHERE HE WAS, THE GOPHER PIT AND THE HAZEN PIT ARE PROBABLY WORKED CONCURRENTLY. IF YOU KNOW THIS TO BE A FALSE ASSUMPTION, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
