Applications for Recordable Disclaimers of Interest; Colorado

[C0-935-5420-CO20; COC-61867, COC-39277]
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.
