Thanks,
Don
edit: If I knew how to accomplish this I take care of the problem myself. I think the string should be: Paramount Canyon, (Beryllium Virgin Claim), Black Range Tin District, Sierra Co., New Mexico. Locality 33334, Berylliun Virgin Claim, could be deleted and it's contents (mineral list, photos, etc.) moved to locality 33338, Paramount Canyon.

They are now separate eschelons in the locality string, not the same locality per se. The claim is in the valley, ergo, the valley is in the string. Each higher eschelon reflects the species from all subordinate eschelons. Actually, I thought about adding in the next level - the Black Mountains, but decided against it at the moment since it would require a more complicated regional set of changes and take up substantial time.

In 1979 I found red beryl 100-250' away from the cassiterite vein at Paramount Canyon. My field collecting partner & I staked a claim on it since Utah facet-grade red beryl was selling for about $4,000 per carat. We named it the Beryllium Virgin, but unfortunately the largest beryl xls were 3 mm and were always opaque and fractured. We dropped the claim in 1982 or 1983. Immediately afterwards it might have been restaked by FRM Minerals, Inc., who had the idea of investigating the district for a tin porphyry. It did not pan out.
