24572,Ophir Mining District (Utah). Recorder,Deeds,1870-1873.,Roughly chronological by date recorded within each book.,"The earliest Ophir Mining District (Tooele County\, Utah) recorders registered deeds transferring mining claims or mining property from one party to another. Prospectors in the early Ophir District were highly involved in trading mining property because the original Ophir by-laws limited the amount each individual could claim to 200 feet per person. Mining deeds\, sometimes called indentures\, include the name and residence of involved parties\, the amount of consideration money\, the date\, and the name and description of the claim being sold. In addition to deeds\, Book B contains file entries recorded in 1871.,These are legal instruments recorded by the county recorder concerning mining. They include the following: Notices of locations\, Mining deed records\, Mining claims records\, Proof of labor records\, Mining mortgages\, Mining abstract records\, Mining transfers and relocations. In some counties mining records are compiled separately\, while in others they are part of the ""Official records.""",,Public,2 microfilm reels
