Mr. Earl Douglass

Uintah County

Jensen, Utah.



My dear Mr. Douglass:

The Department, by decision of even date, has felt constrained to deny your motion for rehearing in the matter of your mineral entry 04764, embracing the Carnegie Museum placer mining claim, Survey No. 6206, situated in what, when surveyed, will be T.4 S., R.23 E., S.L. B. & M., Vernal land district, Utah, located and claimed on account of a deposit of fossil remains of dinosauria, and other prehistoric animals; deeming it also inexpedient to accord you an opportunity to argue the matter orally before this tribunal.
