Montrose District Manager. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described land has been 
determined to be suitable for disposal by sale utilizing non-
competitive procedures.

New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado

T. 42 N., R. 6 W.,
    Tract 37

    Containing approximately 2.54 acres more or less.

    This land is being offered as a direct, non-competitive sale to Mr. 
Kevin D. Padrick, a private individual. BLM has determined a direct 
sale is necessary as Mr. Padrick owns the adjoining private property 
known as the Great Western Lode, MS 1603. A large three story boarding 
house that was constructed in the 1920's, known as the Martin Boarding 
House, is situated on the Great Western Lode. A portion of the 
structure has encroached upon adjoining public lands that have been 
surveyed to create the above described Tract 37. The direct sale will 
resolve this inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of said land. The land 
will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    In the event of a sale, the mineral interest shall be conveyed 
simultaneously with the surface interest. The mineral interest being 
offered for conveyance has no known mineral value. Upon acceptance of a 
direct sale offer, the purchaser shall be required to make application 
for conveyance of those mineral interests.
    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land 
will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public 
land laws, including the general mining laws. This segregation will 
terminate upon issuance of a patent or 270 days from the date of this 
publication.
    The patent, when issued, would contain a reservation of a right-of-
way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the 
United States, Act of August 30, 1890, 26 Stat. 391, 43 U.S.C. 945. Any 
patent would also be subject to an existing overhead power line right-
of-way authorization, COC-18281, currently held by San Miguel Power 
Association.

    Signed: October 22, 1997.
Mark W. Stiles,
District Manager.
