Boise District Office, and the highest 

acceptable sealed bid will be 

determined. An oral auction will follow 

the determination of the highest

the appraised fair market value, with the 

opening oral bid being for not less than 

the highest acceptable sealed bid. Oral 

bidding will continue until the highest 

bid is determined. If no oral bids are 

received, the highest acceptable sealed 

bid will be considered the purchaser. 

The purchaser will have 30 days from 

the date of acceptance of the high bid to 

submit a deposit of 20 percent of the 

purchase price and the $50.00 filing fee 

for conveyance of mineral interests. The

the date of the sale. Payments must be 

by certified check, postal money order,
