Professors A. V. Corry and Paul A. Schafer of the Montana School of Mines in Butte conducted a weekend survey of the Frying Pan basin west of Dillon where gold was recently found on the Warren Sutherland ranch. They plan further visits at the Beaverhead Mining association’s request to assess placer development.
