Comments
Comment (Reference): DMEA Docket 3996 deals with many of the Blackstone claims all just over the county line to the west in Fremont County, not Natrona. There is no mention in the DMEA Docket of Blackstone No. 51, but it is listed here as general information for the general area. This record for No. 51 is unverifiable.
