Full description
RCHME, CITING OS, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV144518.
Osa=sx66nw11. Vis=10/09/1978 (os) No trace of this hut could be found. It may be that it has totally collapsed since Falcon's note of 1902 and, if so, it will appear little different from the rest of the mining debris in the area. The plurality expressed on Worth's private 6" would seem to be erroneous.
