Hello Sho,

There are two basic methods:

1) Use the Table browser to do this. Select the Genbank assembly/track 
of interest, use the "identifiers" filter to limit the output, and 
select output "selected fields from primary and related tables". The 
next form will allow you to limit the output by just these fields and to 
join in related data (ex: alternate keys/labels). Or download the entire 
table and cut out the columns after (although this is not recommended 
for large files - for large files use the next method #2). Most primary 
tables and all Genbank primary tables have positional information just 
as you list.

2) Download the complete primary table using ftp/rsync.
  - http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html
  - Common name
  - Choose assembly version
  - Annotation database
  - All tables in the Table browser are here in file format
    as table_name.txt.gz

The schema for a table (column definitions) can be found by using the 
"describe table schema" button next to the "table" pull-down menu. This 
is good to learn for either method.
