Comments on the location information

  • Approx. centroid of ore body as interpretted from sketch map on fig. 3. Note that fig. 3, p. 176 of Klingmuller mislabels the next township north. The next township should be T28N, not T27N. PLSS have been corrected in this MRDS entry.
  • There are prospects marked on the topo in this area. Exact sections are unknown--the sketch map in Klingmuller, p. 176, is somewhat vague. Eastern extent of the roughly E-W trending ore body appears to be approx. half way between the summit of Whiskey Peak and the NW corner of T27N, R91W. Western extent may be the western edge of the township.
