FORMS FOR LOCATION NOTICES. The following forms for mineral location notices have been found to fill the requirements of the statutes:11 NOTICE OF QUARTZ LODE LOCATION. Notice is hereby given, That I, a citizen of the United States, have discovered a vein of rock in place, carrying gold, silver, copper, and other valuable deposits, upon which I have erected a discovery monument and posted this notice, as hereinafter set forth; that in accordance with the provision of Chapter 6, Title 32 of the Revised Statutes of the United States and the laws of the State of California, I hereby claim fifteen hundred linear feet of said vein, measured thereon as hereinafter set forth.

Immediately upon making the same, and on the 19____ I erected at the point of discovery, a substantial monument, consisting of a mound of rocks and and posted thereon this notice. and I claim in feet feet . from I also claim three hundred feet on each side of the center of the vein. This vein or claim shall be known as and called the The general course of said vein is length thereon said discovery monument. and day of 1111 That the following is a description of said location as marked on the ground: commencing at the tant about thence of said claim, a from which initial point the discovery monument is disdirection; feet in a *Make this description in accordance with the facts, as "The general course of said vein is north and south. I claim in length thereon 500 feet north and 1,000 feet south from said discovery monument." If the claim is upon surveyed land, give the section, township and range, if possible. This is not required by law, but makes a much better description. § Here refer to some natural object or permanent monument so as to identify the locality of the claim, in compliance with section 2324, Revised Statutes U. S. A road, house, tree, known mountain or peak, government corner, mill, or known mining claim, are such objects or monuments. As, "About one mile directly east from John Doe's quartz mill and 400 rods west from the Last Hope mine," etc. Here state: "Commencing at the N. E. corner of said claim, a mound of rocks 4 ft high," or at any other corner or point in the boundary; give the distance and direction from this initial monument to the discovery monument, and then locate the discovery with reference to some natural object or permanent monument. Here follows a description of the claim from the initial monument. For instance: "Thence 600 ft. northwesterly to the N. W. corner of said claim, at which point is a mound of rocks 2 ft. high, marked so-and-so (if marked); thence 1,500 ft. southwesterly to the S. W. corner of said claim, being a mound of rocks," etc.; so going around the claim to the point of beginning. NOTICE OF LOCATION OF PLACER CLAIM. Notice is hereby given, That citizen of the United States, h---- this 111) day of 19-, discovered a valuable placer deposit within the limits of this claim; that by virtue of said discovery, ha____ located, and hereby locate and claim the following described land, Mining District, County, California, to of section situate in wit: * Township Range acres. Said claim is hereby named B. and M., containing--- Placer Claim. Said claim is marked upon the ground as follows: -. *The statute provides that the locator must give "a description of the claim by reference to legal subdivisions of sections, if the location is made in conformity with the public surveys; otherwise a description with reference to some natural object or permanent monument as will identify the claim.". When not described by legal subdivisions, the description should conform to that contained in the final certificate of location of a lode claim. The statute provides that, whether described by legal subdivisions or not, the location shall be marked by the locator on the ground, and as the affidavit to be filed later is not required to contain a description of the claim, we think this notice should state how the location is marked; as, for instance, "At the N. E. corner of said tract a mound of rocks 3 ft. high, marked so-and-so (if marked), and at the N. W. corner a stake in a mound of rocks, marked," etc., and so on for each monument enclosing the claim. §Here state where the discovery is located, as, for instance, "20 feet S. W. of the N. E. corner monument." The foregoing form of placer notice may be used for location of all deposits which are classed under placer laws. A duplicate of either of these notices must be filed for record with the county recorder within thirty days from the discovery; and the locator is allowed thirty days to mark his location on the ground.
