Conflicting descriptions with the photograph read: "Queho's grave site on Arizona side of Colorado River, Fortification Mt." "Not right. Queho's remains were found in Nevada. According to Cutright, blankets, pick, and shovel taken to 5th Bonanza for display at Helldorado. Photo taken inside gypsum cave. Cutright's caption is incorrect. Photo taken with flash shows excavations by Harrington in progress."
