Comments
Comment (Location): HEAD OF MILLER CREEK
Comment (Workings): 30 FT ADIT
Comment (Location): Original political location in record was Mineral county. However, lat/long, PLSS, verbal descriptions HEAD OF MILLER CREEK and 6 MI SW OF PLAINS all agree with each other, and indicate a location 2.3 km inside adjacent Sanders county. So, the county name was changed to Sanders.
