We do not retain <br />ownership records which means we oversee the delivery of water to the Deer Trail Ditch headgate, <br />not to an individual or company. <br />You specifically mentioned one priority in the Deer Trail Ditch, adjudication date 3(20!1454 and <br />appropriation date of 2/15/1976, for 0.50 cfs. This water right is considered viable and is decreed <br />for mining and power purposes (ref. Case CA 3503). <br />Mention is also made of a lease between Coors Company and Bowie Resources Limited. We do not <br />retain a copy of said lease and are unable to comment further on its validity or application. <br />Sincerely, <br />7L,~,....~ lam. ~L~-~~ <br />Kenneth W.
