for the following-described lands:
A parcel of land located in
Government Lot 3 and the NE1⁄4SW1⁄4 of
Section 7, T. 3 N., R. 1 E., Boise
Meridian, Ada County, Idaho, more
particularly described as follows:
Commencing at a 5/8″ rebar with an
illegible cap marking the intersection of
E 3rd Street and E Broadway Avenue;
Thence S 01° 21′ 54″ W, coincident
with the centerline of said 3rd Street, a
distance of 40.00 feet;

3rd Street and the POINT OF
BEGINNING;
Thence S 01° 21′ 54″ W, coincident
with said westerly right-of-way line of E
3rd Street, a distance of 362.28 feet to
the northerly right-of-way line of the
Union Pacific Railroad;
Thence N 88° 30′ 19″ W, coincident
with said northerly right-of-way line of
the Union Pacific Railroad, a distance of
673.87 feet to the easterly right-of-way
line of N Main Street;
Thence N. 00° 33′ 11″ E, coincident
with said easterly right-of-way line of N
Main Street, a distance of 359.94 feet to
the southerly right-of-way line of E
Broadway Avenue;
Thence S 88° 42′ 22″ E, coincident
with said southerly right-of-way line of
E Broadway Avenue, a distance of
678.97 feet to the POINT OF
BEGINNING.
Said parcel contains 5.607 acres, more
or less.
The above described land in section 7
is being acquired by the EBIC. As part
of the proposed acquisition, Fidelity
National Title Company is requiring
EBIC to show that the United States no
longer has any interest in the property.
Official United States land title
records show that the described
property is affected by railroad station
ground right-of-way (ROW) no. IDI–253,
which was issued by the United States
to the Idaho Central Railroad on
December 15, 1888, under the authority
of the Railroad Act of March 3, 1875 (43
U.S.C. 934–939).
The official records further disclose
that the described property was
subsequently conveyed out of Federal
ownership. On August 4, 1891, the
United States issued patent no. 1065 to
Joseph G. Reed for the E1⁄2SW1⁄4 and
W1⁄2SE1⁄4 of Section 7, T. 3 N., R. 1 E.,
Boise Meridian, Idaho. On June 10,
1892, the United States issued patent
no. 150 to Eliza A. Zenger for Lot 3 of
Section 7, T. 3 N., R. 1 E., Boise
Meridian, Idaho. Neither of the patents
mention the previously issued railroad
station ground ROW IDI–253.
The United States has no apparent
claim to or interest in the described
property because, under the authority of
the Railroad Act of March 3, 1875, the
Idaho Central Railroad, and any
successors in interest, were granted the
right to use the described lands for
purposes appurtenant to the railroad.
Further, upon abandonment, ROW
interest previously held under the
Railroad Act of March 3, 1875, devolves
or transfers to the underlying
landowner. The interest does not revert
to the United States.
EBIC has reached agreement with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
PO 00000
Frm 00082

(successor-in-interest to Idaho Central
Railroad) to purchase its remaining
interest in the portion of railroad station
ground ROW ID–253 affecting the
described property. As such, station
ground ROW IDI–253 will be
abandoned, and the interest in the ROW
will devolve to the current owners of
the underlying property, which EBIC is
acquiring. Issuance of a recordable
disclaimer will remove a cloud of title
to the land.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of commentors, will be
available for public review at the BLM
Idaho State Office (see address above),
during regular business hours, Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
If no valid objection is received, a
Disclaimer of Interest may be approved
stating that the United States has no
valid interest in the above-described
land.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1970, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from a site near Mokelumne
Hill in Calaveras County, CA (Accession
442). The burials were inadvertently
discovered during the construction of a
tennis court on private property. Field
records indicate that two burials, an
adult and a juvenile, were identified
and exhumed. In 1995, UC Davis
reported that the two burials represent
a minimum of three individuals. In
2018, human remains recovered from
the site were reviewed in consultation
with one consulting Tribe. UC Davis
determined the human remains
represented a minimum of five
individuals based on age classification.
No known individuals were identified.
The 47 associated funerary objects are
33 flakes, three cobble fragments, one
quartz crystal, one mineral, seven faunal
remains, and two bifaces.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on the archeological context of
the site. Radiocarbon dates indicates
that the burials date to approximately
A.D. 134–410. Geographic,
anthropological, archeological,
historical, linguistic, and oral traditional
sources provide evidence of cultural
affiliation between the human remains
and contemporary Miwok people. The
following Indian Tribes identify as
Eastern, Plains, or Sierra Miwok and are
culturally affiliated with the above
human remains and associated funerary
objects: Buena Vista Rancheria of MeWuk Indians of California; California
Valley Miwok Tribe, California; Chicken
Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of
California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians
of California; Jackson Band of Miwuk
Indians (previously listed as Jackson
Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of
California); Shingle Springs Band of
Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs
Rancheria (Verona Tract), California;
Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of
the Tuolumne Rancheria of California;
United Auburn Indian Community of
the Auburn Rancheria of California; and
the Wilton Rancheria, California
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Affiliated
Tribes’’).
Determinations Made by the University
of California, Davis
Officials of the University of
California, Davis have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of five

History and Description of the Remains
The following human remains and
associated funerary objects are
associated with the Hohokam
archeological culture (A.D. 1–1450).
Between 1938 and 1939, human
remains representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from site AZ
U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande in Maricopa
County, AZ, by personnel from the Salt
River Valley Stratigraphic Survey
(SRVSS) working out of PGM. These
excavations occurred in trash mound 1
of the site. The human remains have
been kept in the collections of PGM
since they were excavated, and some
were originally identified as faunal
remains. The human remains are
cremated. No known individuals were
identified. The 29 associated funerary
objects are 10 Sacaton red-on-buff
partial and whole vessels; three
Wingfield plain ware bowls, jar, and
sherds; three awl fragments; one red-onbuff censer; one heavy-walled buff ware
vessel; one lot faunal bone fragments;
three projectile points; four shell
ornaments; one lot pigment; one lithic;
and one daub.
AZ U:9:1(ASM)/Pueblo Grande was a
large village located on the north side of
the Salt River, along Canal System Two,
and was occupied throughout the
Hohokam cultural sequence, reaching
its greatest extent during the Classic
period (A.D. 1150–1450).
In 1937 or 1938, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site AZ
T:12:2(PGM)/AZ T:12:1(ASM)/SRVSS
Site 5/La Ciudad in Maricopa County,
AZ, by personnel from the SRVSS
working out of PGM. The individual
was exposed in a sewer line trench or
a well. The human remains have been
in the collections of PGM since they
were excavated, but were not identified
until 2018, during a review of the faunal
collection. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
AZ T:12:1(ASM)/La Ciudad was a
large village located on the north side of
the Salt River, along Canal System Two,
and was occupied throughout the
Hohokam cultural sequence (A.D. 1–

In 1940, human remains and
associated funerary objects representing,
at minimum, 10 individuals were
removed from site AZ T:12:4(PGM)/AZ
T:12:220(ASM)/SRVSS Site 7/Las
