MEMORANDUM TO MR. J. H. COURTRIGHT

GILA PROJECT

Although it was planned to acquire options on several parcels of land for the Gila Project, we were able to negotiate satisfactory terms on only two. One of these, however, was the key piece, and drilling here blasted the hopes on which the project was based.

I understand the project has been cancelled, but do not believe we have had written permission from New York to cancel the two options. The parcels involved are:

i) NE 1/4 Sec. i0, T6S, R5E (Parcel 26 of my report of June 7, 1962). Owner , Arizona Land Title & Trust Co., Trust No. 6009-T. Option expires Oct. i0, 1963.

2) N 1/2 Sec. 9, T6S, R5E (Parcel 23). Owner - Arizona Land Title & Trust Co. Option expires May l, 1964.

Although the second option does not expire until next year, we may as well relinquish it now in order to write off the project expenses during this year. Unless you have reason to hold on to these options, I believe we should request permission to relinquish them.
