FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information about this sale is available for review at the Bureau of Land management, Gunnison Field Office, 216 North Colorado, Gunnison, Colorado 81230, and attention: Barry Tollefson.

Supplementary Information
The following described land has been determined to be suitable for disposal by sale utilizing non- competitive procedures.
New Mexico Principal Meridian, Colorado
T. 46 N., R. 2 W., Sec. 23, Lot 2
Containing approximately .40 acres more or less.
This land is being offered as a direct non-competitive sale to Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Schoenmakers, as private individuals. The Bureau of Land Management has determined a direct sale is necessary as the Schoenmakers own adjoining private property. Because of an error in a private survey conducted over 25 years ago, the Schoenmakers house is located on the adjoining public lands that have been surveyed to create the above described Lot 2. The direct sale will resolve this inadvertent unauthorized occupancy of said land. The land will not be offered for sale until at least 60 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In the event of a sale, the mineral interest shall be conveyed simultaneously with the surface interest. The mineral interest being offered for conveyance has no known mineral value. Upon acceptance of a direct sale offer, the purchaser shall be required to make application for conveyance of those mineral interests. Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws. This segregation will terminate upon issuance of a patent or 270 days from the date of this publication. The patent, when issued would contain a reservation of a right-of- way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890, 26 Stat. 391, 43 U.S.C. 945. Any patent would also be subject to an existing overhead power line right- of-way authorization, COC-39175, currently held by Gunnison County Electric Association, a buried telephone cable right-of-way authorization, COC-48606, currently held by U.S. West and a second buried telephone cable right-of-way authorization, COC-54329 currently held by U.S. West.
