TOOELE COUNTY (UTAH). COUNTY RECORDER [1166]

MINING CLAIMS ABSTRACTS INDEX, 1891-1978.
1 microfilm reel

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: As the agent responsible for recording documents relating to mining claims, the Tooele County recorder created abstracts for all claims. An abstract is a chronological list of recorded documents relating to a particular mining claim. The recorder also created an alphabetical index to provide access to these abstracts. For each claim, the index indicates the book and page number in the abstract books where the county recorder began keeping the abstract record. The index also indicates the mining district in which each claim was located.

ARRANGEMENT: Volumes are by abstract book referenced. Index entries are alphabetical by first letter of the claim name.

RESEARCH NOTE: This index was 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: This index provides reference to MINING CLAIMS ABSTRACTS, series 24562. The abstracts are also referenced by PATENTED MINING CLAIMS INDEX, series 24564, which includes only patented claims.

PROCESSING NOTE: Tooele County mining records were processed by Rosemary Cundiff in November 2002

PREFERRED CITATION: Cite the Utah State Archives and Records Service, the creating agency name, the series title, and the series number.
