Notice of Receipt of Conveyance of Mineral Interest Application

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of minerals segregation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The reserved federally-owned mineral interest, in the private 
lands described in this notice, aggregating approximately 160 acres, 
are segregated and made unavailable for filings under the general 
mining laws and the mineral leasing laws. The segregation is in 
response to an application for mineral conveyance under section 209 of 
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (43 
U.S.C. 1719).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vivian Titus, Land Law Examiner, 
Arizona State Office, 222 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, Arizona 85004, 
(602) 417-9598.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian, Yavapai County, Arizona

T. 9 N., R. 2 E.,
    Sec. 29, E\1/2\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, W\1/2\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, NW\1/
4\NE\1/4\, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.

    The reserved Federal mineral interests will be conveyed in whole 
or in part upon completion of a mineral examination. The purpose is 
to allow consolidation of surface and subsurface minerals ownership 
where there are no known mineral values or in those instances where 
the Federal mineral interest reservation interferes with or 
precludes appropriate nonmineral development and such development is 
a more beneficial use of the land than the mineral development. Upon 
publication of this notice of segregation in the Federal Register as 
provided in 43 CFR 2720.1-1(b), the mineral interests owned by the 
United States in the lands covered by the mineral conveyance 
application are segregated to the extent that they will not be 
subject to appropriation under the public land laws, including the 
mining and mineral leasing laws. The segregative effect shall 
terminate upon: Final rejection of the mineral conveyance 
application; or February 2, 2006, whichever occurs first. If the 
United States issues a patent or deed of such mineral interest, the 
mineral interest will no longer be subject to the public land laws, 
including the mining leasing laws.

    Dated: December 16, 2003.

State Director.
