Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Krauss Mine
A former Au occurrence/mine located in the SE¼ sec. 15, T18N, R20W, G&SRM, on Bureau of Land Management administered land. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 10 meters. NOTE: The Krauss and Golden Era Mines are actually 2 different mines with considerable distance between them (4.3 km (2.6 miles)). The USGS MRDS database treats them as a single mine with 2 names, apparently based on the circumstance that Scrader (1909) lumps them together in a short, descriptive paragraph, but is clear to state the respective locations of each are different.
KRAUSS AND GOLDEN ERA PROPERTIES.
The Krauss and Golden Era properties, not visited in this work, seem from oral reports to be similar to most of those just described.

The Golden Era property is about 4 miles southeast of Boundary Cone, at about 2,500 feet elevation.
