TITLE: Mining claims indexes
DATES: 1970-

DESCRIPTION: The Washington County recorder kept indexes to mining claims in several formats. From 1970-1992 she kept a hand written index which lists claims alphabetically by claim name and includes names of locators, date of location, date of recording, entry number and mining district. She repeated the same information, presenting the same data alphabetically by names of locators. This information in this index is repeated in an electronic index, which provides the same information and also indicates the last date of any action on the claim. Computer printouts have been microfilmed in several formats, including alphabetically by claim name, by claimant name, and as a list of patented mines. A hard copy of the list of patented mines is also presented as a microfilm copy of a set of 3x5 cards.
