SUMMARY: The following described land in Eureka County, Nevada, has

conveyance for recreation or public purpose under the provisions of the

made application to acquire the land which contains the existing

cemetery which has important historical values. The lands would be 
conveyed to Eureka County at the regular pricing rate of fair market
