A former Au-Ag occurrence/mine located somewhere in Alpine County.
NOTE: The USGS MRDS database contains only 1 identifiable file for this locality. That file places this locality in Amador County, which is supported by the MAS-MILS file No. also provided, which is in the sequence for Amador County. All other limited data place this locality in Alpine County. The discrepancy appears to be an error in the longitude value, which was translated into an incorrect T&R value. The actual T&R value may be sec. 14, T7N, R8E, versus R18E; however, all other key bits of data that could provide clues as to the correct values are not presented.
