Applications for Recordable Disclaimers of Interest; Colorado

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of proposed issuance of recordable disclaimers of
interest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States of America, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 315 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43
U.S.C. 1745), proposes to disclaim all interest in nine patented mining
claims in Pitkin County, Colorado, and two patented parcels totaling 20
acres in Montrose County.
DATES: Comments or objections should be received on or before December
10, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Comments or objections should be sent to the Colorado State
Director, BLM, 2850 Youngfield Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80215-7093 .
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Senti, BLM Colorado State
Office, 303-239-3713.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A deed dated April 21, 1941, from Amos,
M.E., and William Bourquin, purported to convey to the United States of
America, by donation, the surface only of the following mining claims
in Pitkin County: the Baltimore claim in Mineral Survey (M.S.) 3337);
the Climax, Idlewilde, Howard Russell, Picnic, and Wilmington claims,
constituting all of M.S. 4338; the Robert Lincoln claim in M.S. 6844;
the Hayden claim in M.S. 6803; and the Jewell claim in M.S. 4786; all
of which are lode claims in section 6, T. 11 S., R. 84 W., and/or
section 1, T. 11 S., R. 85 W., of the Sixth Principal Meridian,
Colorado, within the White River National Forest. Title to these
patented mining claims was not accepted by the United States. However,
the deed has created a cloud on the title to the claims, which have
since been the subject of numerous conveyances among private
landowners.
The two parcels in Montrose County, described as the E\1/2\NE\1/
4\NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, N\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\NE\1/4\, and the SE\1/4\SW\1/
4\NE\1/4\ of section 31, T. 49 N., R. 8 W., New Mexico Principal
Meridian, Colorado, are affected by a scrivener's error in a patent
dated July 25, 1925. The statute of limitations within which to correct
the error has long since passed, and full title has therefore vested in
the patentee and successors in interest. The present landowner has
requested issuance of a recordable disclaimer of interest to further
substantiate an unclouded title to his property.
The Bureau of Land Management has determined that the United States
has no claim to or interest in the lands in either situation described
above and that issuance of the proposed recordable disclaimers of
interest will help to remove a cloud on title on the respective claims
and lands.
Authority: 43 CFR Part 1864.
Dated: August 28, 1998.

Realty Officer.
