SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land has been identified as suitable for
disposal by the Shoshone-Eureka Resource Management Plan. The land is
not needed for any resource program and is not suitable for management
by the Bureau or another Federal department or agency. The Eureka Board
of County Commissioners requested the sale to provide for community
expansion resulting from increased mining activity in the area.
Acceptance of the sale offer will constitute application for
conveyance of the available mineral interests. The sale proponent will
be required to submit a $50.00 nonrefundable filing fee for conveyance
of the available mineral interests with the purchase price for the
land. Failure to submit the nonrefundable fee for the mineral estate
within the time frame specified by the authorized officer will result
in cancellation of the sale.
Upon publication of this Notice of Realty Action in the Federal
Register, the lands will be segregated from all forms of appropriation
under the public land laws, including the mining laws, but not the
mineral leasing laws or disposals pursuant to Sections 203 and 209 of
FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate upon issuance of a patent or
other document of conveyance, upon publication in the Federal Register
of a termination of segregation, or 270 days from date of this
publication, which ever occurs first.
Patent, when issued, will contain the following reservations to the
United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by
the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890, (43
U.S.C. 945);
2. Right-of-way N-50249, for a water pipeline serving the Bureau
of Land Management Eureka Administrative Site;
And will be subject to:

of Highways, its successors or assigns, under the Act of November 9,
1921, for highway purposes;
2. Right-of-way grant NEV-067106, issued to Nevada Bell, its
successors or assigns, under the Act of March 4, 1911, for a buried
telephone line;
3. Right-of-way grant N-5638, held by Mt. Wheeler Power Company,
its successors or assigns, under authority of the Act of October 21,
1976, for a power transmission line;
4. Right-of-way grant N-50847, issued to Mt. Wheeler Power
Company, its successors or assigns, for a power distribution line;
and
5. All other valid existing rights.
Upon patent issuance to Eureka County, the prospective purchaser,
rights to the portions of the following rights-of-way on the subject
land will merge with the title. Should the purchaser be other than
Eureka County, the patent would be subject to the following listed
rights-of-way.
