224 Class III Inventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project <br />The limited tin can assemblage consists of 16 artifacts. Ten of the 16 cans are 3 14/16 x <br />2 15/16 -inch hole -in -top evaporated milk cans manufactured between 1917 and 1929. The <br />remaining tin cans consist of six crushed side - strip - opened coffee cans and three hinged -lid tobacco <br />cans (1907 - 1948). <br />The remaining three artifacts consist of one polygon- shaped saltshaker, one cast iron stove base <br />plate, and one Colorado vehicle license plate stamped with number 28 -450 and the year 1939. <br />The 1884 GLO plat map for Section 29, T4N, R94W, was examined, and there is no indication of <br />any nineteenth - century homestead or settlement at this location. According to the MTP and <br />Historical Indices for T4N, R94W, and the BLM website, Roscoe Hurst filed for and received a <br />Stock Raising Homestead Entry Patent (SRHE No. 1103210) for 484.41 acres on June 16, 1939, <br />under the 1916 Stock Raising Homestead Act. The entry was Fled at the General Land Office in <br />Denver (No. 042370) and has not been cancelled or relinquished (BLM n.d.). The diagnostic <br />artifacts on the site are contemporary with the land patent, which indicates the time period of initial <br />occupation was during the late Depression era. <br />NRHP Eligibility Recommendation and Project Effect Site 5MF6113 is recommended as not <br />eligible for listing on the NRHP. It is not associated with significant local or regional events that <br />contributed to the broad pattern of history. It was not homesteaded during Colorado's early territorial <br />period or during early statehood. Roscoe Hurst is not a person of exceptional or extraordinary <br />historic significance. The extant building and foundation remains have poor physical integrity and <br />do not possess significant attributes of architectural or engineering design, materials, or <br />workmanship. As a historic homestead and surface manifestation, the site has little or no potential <br />to contain intact significant subsurface cultural deposits that would further the understanding of <br />settlement, ranching, or socioeconomic history of Moffat County or the region. Recordation has <br />exhausted the research potential of the site. <br />47599 TRC Mariah Associates Inc. <br />
