Hi Yinan,

Thanks for refreshing my memory on the mining claim that the prospectors 
filed on the land. I was in high school and remember reading that they were 
not allowed to take the Old Woman meteorite as she sat in between the 
boulders on that rocky area because it was "not" a locatable mineral.

That brings back memories and clarifies the reason that it went to the 
Smithsonian.

Thanks again,

Brian
