A long post... save it to your desktop for later reading:
Here's how I use the LR2000 page for research. Like I've said before, TimC is the EXPERT. I've learned this process from him.
GOOGLE up LR2000 (bookmark it) You will be directed to the BLM LR2000 home page.
Click RUN REPORTS. You will get a page that gives several choices.
Scroll down to PUB MC GEO REPORT (my caps).
Click on that choice (Pub MC Geo Report) . You will be directed to more choices.
Check Meridian Township Range Section.
Click Select Criteria box (at bottom of page). You have the page... Mandatory Criteria.
Click Set (Admin State). You now have a list of states. I will highlight AZ for instructional purposes.
Click Set (case disposition). Now I will select ACTIVE and CLOSED (only) on this page. You may select Active and closed if you like by dragging the cursor over both or hold down the CTRL key and click on both.
Click on Set Meridian Township Range Section. First click on Meridian. I will click in 14 - Gila-salt River Mer(for instruction).
Click on Township box and insert "10" for now.
Move right to find "direction" (any). Click here and select NORTH.
Move to Range box and enter "5". Move to direction and add WEST.
In the Section box add "23".
Move to "Add to MTR" (Meridian Township Range) box. It is highlighted in Forest green. When you click it, the info you added above will show up in the larger box below. Mine shows up as "14 0100N 0050W 023".
Click Run Report at the bottom of the page.
Your choices will show up and a box will show up with the choices you made.
Click "OK".
Now, your screen will seem to go blank for awhile (look on the URL line above)... the site is "crunching" your choices.
Several seconds later (be patient) a box will show up saying something like "Query in progress.Please wait...".
Several seconds later VIOLA! You get a list of the ACTIVE and CLOSED claims in section 23 above Stanton, AZ! There are more than 1 page of listings (see the 1 of ? top right?).
Click on the PAGE DOWN function AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE (not your PGDN/PAUSE key).
Now you will see that there are 5 pages to look at and play with. The CASE TYPE number(s) mean 384101=lode and 384201=placer. The reason section 23 has MANY more lode claims than placer is because it is a VERY rugged piece of land. Placers are more prevelent south of Stanton. Now, swap out the section numbers for other areas around Stanton to see what you get. Plug the claim name and/or owner name into the Yavapai County, AZ website I listed in another post to see exactley where they are located. A long post, to be sure! Save it to your desktop till you are comfortable with the searches. MANY more types of searches are possible using these two tools. I hope I did these instructions right. ENJOY! TTC
