http://www.savegoldbutte.com/2015/04/mica-peak-vermiculite-mine.html

If my Whitmore friends are out there and can let me know whether this is correct or not I would appreciate it. This is a picture of teh Harry Gentry Genral Store in St. Thomas. The best I could do for Roxton Whitmore was this picture I have of his place in St. Thomas. Mackay School of Mines, University of Nevada 1967.

Thursday, November 27, 2014. The BLM is once again stirring up a storm.
