Dear Ms. Bartsas: ~

Enclosed is a partial copy of the McFadden Peak, Arizona, 15 Minute U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle, which shows the location of Section 28, T7N, R15E, G&SR BM, where your brother1s mining claims were locJted.

No proof of annual labor could be found in the Recorder1s Office for the assessment year ending Noon, September 1, 1978, and the ground may have been relocated by another prospector.

The Gila County Recorder and the personnel in her office are true friends of the prospector and miner. However, they can not be expected to do legal or land status research work and when such re­search work is deemed necessary, a competent professional consultant should be hired.

Please feel free to contact us any time we might be of further assistance.

Si ncere ly,

Dear Mr. Phillips:

I am enclosing what information I have regarding the proof of annual labor on the mines that my brother owned.

This is all that I have been able to find. Therefore, I would appreciate any help you can give me as to whether or not anyone else has filed on these mines during the last year, as well as a map showing where these mines are located, so that I can have the assessment work done.

Your assistance in this matter will Qe appreciated.

Sincerely,

-MARY BARTSAS Realtor-Owner
