Submitted by Betty Loose betty@unisette.com _______________________ Sacramento Bee Monday May 19, 1913 NO PROTEST MADE TO BROCKINGTON CLAIMS Reported Action by C.P.R.R. Denied at Sacramento Land Office GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), May 19 - Investigation of the report that the Brockington mining project in the heart of this city is to be protested revealed this morning that there has very evidently been a mistake in names. At the United State Land Office in Sacramento it was found that there have been no protests filed by the Central Pacific Railroad against the claimants of any mineral rights in Grass Valley Township. The company cannot possibly make any claims to any lands in the townsite under any grant, as it has never been allowed mineral rights in its grants. Receiver ING of the Land Office stated that no such protest has been filed against any Grass Valley claims. There has been such a protest filed against the Golden Septer Company's claims outside the Grass Valley townsite, and this may have been confounded with the claims of Brockington, which are owned by the Golden Center of Grass Valley Mining Company. The words "scepter" and "center" are believed to have been the cause of the confusion.
