The following communication was read: Mason,Wisconsin April 201.1959 The County Board of Supervisors Bayfield County Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Sirs; Since there is action pending regarding the leasing of County lands and April 21, 1959 the mineral rights therein for exploratory and mining purposes, we, the undersigned, hereby request that the County Board grant us an Easement with option to lease, on the same terms, proportionately,chat.-you.decid®., to deal with Mining Companies under consideration. Said Easement with option to Lease to be on all lands owned by Bayfield County -in the North one-third (113) of the Town of Iron River, and the South one third (113) of the. Town of Tripp. We own property in Section 35, in the Town of Tripp, and Section 3,: in the Town of Iron River. These properties -are adjoining. Hot water has been found on this property, which, according to Geologists, comes off from a very -rich vein of Ore. Exploratory work has been going on for a considerable length of time and we have gradually produced more samples of ore that are favorable. One such sample testing 54% Iron. It has been our intentions during all this time to request the leasing of land from the County. However,the contemplated deal with the Mining Company was unexpected and has upset our plans. We do not feel that we are cutting in on other concerns; on the other hand it could conc.eivably be that there has been a tip-off from the results of our findings that has brought the other concerns in. If that is the case we do not regret it., The more there are interested the sooner Bayfield County will be developed,and, after all, that is what all pf us here should hope and pray for, as that is what is very badly needed. We had hoped to obtain more evidence,before requesting an Easement or Lease but the unexpected events that have taken place has forced us to act sooner than had been anticipated. We feel that we have done suff- icient exploratory work and produced enough bonafide results to be en- titled to an affirmative consummation of the foregoing re quest. We wish to express our thanks for your time and consideration in this matter. The land involved in this request is the equivalent of approx- imately $-; sections and is only a very small portion of the total under consideration for Lease, and we hope you can see our side favorably. Very truly yours, Dufur Fleck Stanley Wilcox Moved by LaPointe and seconded..by Reiten to lay the foregoing communication on the table. Motion carried. Dr. Guzzo and Roy Shoemaker, Manager of the Washburn Hospital appeared before the County Board. Dr. Guzzo spoke at length and gave a detailed talk about the advantages of the Red Cross Blood Bank and explained what was necessary in order to qualify for one.

REAL ESTATE CABLE, WISCONS IN TO THE A5S:EMBL'�6F THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD IN SESSION, THIS 21st DAY OF APRIL, 1959. Without criticism of what may or may not have been done with county owned land in the past, I do hereby wish to suggest to you, as repre- sentatives of the tax payers in Bayfield County, that some changes be made in your system of getting county owned land back on the tax rolls. Present conditions demand that every effort possible tae made to relieve the over burdened tax payer, by getting county owned land on the tax roll as soon as possible. In order to avoid unnecessary delays, the system should be revamped. I am urging, that the board direct your Chairman along with the County Clerk and County Treasurer to act as a mommittee of three, to handle all sales of county owned land; and also, instruct the said committee to employ a licensed'Real Estate Broker to appraise and make recommend- ation as to price and proper method of disposal of county owned lands. The duty of the Broker to include a close examination of all legal 10M .April 21, 1959- descriptions of county owned property, to point out discrepancies, if they should appear.
