TITLE: Mining abstracts
DATES: 1872-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by claim name.
DESCRIPTION: Utah county recorders are required by law to keep abstract records which show every conveyance, encumbrance, or other recorded instrument for every tract (Utah Code, Annotated, 1953, 17-21-6). The Garfield County recorder created similar records for the mining claims in the county. He or she created these abstracts on preprinted forms, using a separate page for each claim. The top of each page names a particular claim, identifies which mining district it is in and who located it. Each page also indicates the date of original location, and where notice of that location was originally recorded. In the body of the page the recorder created a chronological list of all official activity relating to the claim. The record for each action includes the names of grantee and grantor, and the date, book, and page number on which documents relating to that action were recorded. These actions include, but are not limited to, affidavits showing proof of labor, maps, relocation notices, deeds, leases, and agreements.
