Report: James (1946) states the only chrome deposits of the Little Nell group are in section 31 adjacent to Chrome Creek. There is no Chrome Creek in the area, but from his description and map (plate 58) what James is calling Chrome Creek now is called Plateau Creek. Two attempts were made to reach the workings. Once from climbing up from the valley bottom of Lake Fork Creek, but this attested to be quit difficult with many high cliffs. The second attempt was from hiking up onto silver run plateau and walking down to the workings. This proved to be to long of a distance to reach in one day.
