TOOELE COUNTY (UTAH). COUNTY RECORDER [1166]MINING LOCATION NOTICES INDEXES, 1891-1978.6 microfilm reels
A separate agency history is available.
DESCRIPTION: The Tooele County recorder created an index to notices of location (mining claims) recorded by that office. This index provides reference by the claim name and indicates book and page number where the notice of location was recorded. The index also provides the names of locating individuals or companies and the dates of discovery and filing. Beginning in 1934 the county recorder additionally created an inverse index to provide reference based on the names of claim owners.
ARRANGEMENT: Volumes are arranged chronologically. Within each volume entries are alphabetical by the first letter of the claim name, and thereunder chronological by date filed. Books L and M additionally include a separate index which provides reference by the names of claim owners (locators).
RESEARCH NOTE: These indexes were microfilmed with the camera head upside down, and therefore the images are in reverse order on the reel. In order to read the entries in chronological order, a researcher will need to read the microfilm backwards.
RELATED RECORDS: These indexes provide access to notices of location recorded in MINING RECORDS, series 6150, and in OFFICIAL RECORDS, series 7134.
The GENERAL MINING INDEX, series 24174, a more comprehensive mining index, also provides reference to notices of location.
