Comments

Comment (Location): THESE WORKINGS ARE ABOUT A MILE EAST OF THE MAIN ROAD NEAR THE SITE OF A SMALL CABIN ADJACENT TO A FLOWING CREEK AND SPRING

Comment (Workings): AN ADIT WITH OTHER PROSPECTS LOCALLY. A CAVED ADIT FOLLOWS THE STRIKE.

Comment (Geology): SIMILAR PROSPECTS DOT THE LANDSCAPE IN ABOUT A HALF-MILE RADIUS, NONE BIG ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A MINE BUT MOST OF THOSE ARE HOSTED IN GRANITES.
