Note from Jim Litsey on 6/28/15:To my Rigg family relatives:
Stumbled into an interesting legal decision on Rigg family uranium prospecting and mining claims.
I remember going prospecting with dad and his Geiger Counter once or twice and recall stories of landing the Super Cub on riverbanks and camouflaging it while prospecting.
Well, according to the link, nothing panned out. Interesting, nonetheless....
