This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed
a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are
only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.
NOTICE OF APPROPRIATION OF WATER. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the state of california respecting water rights, the undersigned has appropriated and hereby claims all the snow water on the table land between Fitzhugh Creek and Pine Creek and east to the Yankee Jim Ranch.
Notes: Claims ALL SNOW WATER from a tableland — seasonal snowmelt. Geographic description rather than creek name: 'table land between Fitzhugh Creek and Pine Creek and east to Yankee Jim Ranch.' Related to Gertrude Payne French (née Payne, page 206) who claimed Fitzhugh Creek storage — family connection? Same T41N R13E area as James M. Fitzhugh's Crooks Creek claims. Diversion point 5 miles east of irrigated land — long-distance conveyance. No witnesses listed. Dated Sept 20, 1913. Filed Sept 22.
