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 21⁄2 ft. high, marked so and-so (if marked); thence 1500 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.

*The statute provides that the locatcr 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 taht 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 ft. S. W. of the N. E. corner monument."

A duplicate of this notice 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.

LOCATION AND RELOCATION.

How to Locate.

Sec. 1. Any person, a citizen of the United States, or one who has declared his intention to become such, who discovers a vein or lode, may locate a claim upon such vein or lode by defining the boundaries of the claim in the manner hereinafter described and by posting a notice of such location at the time and point of discovery, which notice must be posted upon one of the several monuments prescribed in section 2 of this act, and such notice must contain:

First-The name of the lode or claim. Second-The name of the locator or locators. Third-The date of the location. Fourth-The number of linear feet claimed in length along the course of the vein, each way from the point of discovery, with the width on each side of the center of the vein, and the general course of the vein or lode as near as may be.

Discovery Shaft to Be Sunk-Depth Ten Feet-Boundaries of Claim, How Defined.

Sec. 2. The locator of a lode mining claim must sink a discovery shaft upon the claim located 4x6 feet to the depth of at least ten feet from the lowest part of the rim of such shaft at the surface, or deeper if necessary, to show by such work a lode deposit of mineral in place; a cut or crosscut or tunnel which cuts the lode at a depth of ten feet, or an open cut along the said ledge or lode equivalent in size to a shaft four feet by six feet by ten feet deep, is equivalent to a discovery shaft. The

locator must define the boundaries of his claim by removing the top of a tree (having a diameter of not less than four inches), not less than three feet above the ground, and blazing and marking the same; or by a rock in place, capping such rock with smaller stones, such rock and stones to have a height of not less than three feet; or by setting a post or stone, one at each corner and one at the center of each side line. When a post is used, it must be at least four inches in diameter by four and one-half feet in length, and set one foot in the ground. When it is practically impossible on account of bedrock or precipitous ground to sink such posts, they may be placed in a mound of earth or stones, or where the proper placing of such posts or other monuments is impracticable or dangerous to life or limb, it shall be lawful to place such posts or monuments at the nearest point, properly marked to designate its right place. When a stone is used, not a rock in place, it must be not less than six inches in diameter and eighteen inches in length, and set two-thirds of its length in the top of a mound of earth or stone four feet in diameter, and two and one-half feet in height. All trees, posts or rocks used as monuments which are not four feet in diameter at the base shall be surrounded by a mound of earth or stones four feet in diameter by two feet in height, which trees, posts, stones or rock monuments must be so marked as to designate the corners of the claim located; provided, however, that the locator of a mining claim shall within twenty days from the date of posting the notice of location define the boundaries of said claim by placing at each corner and the center of each sideline one of the herein before described monuments, and shall within ninety days from the date of posting of said location notice perform the location work hereinbefore prescribed.

WHAT NOTICE SHALL CONTAIN WHEN LOCATION IS VOID.

Sec. 3. Any locator or locators of a mining claim, after having established the boundaries of said claim, and after complying with the provisions of this act, with reference to the establishment of such boundaries, may file with the district mining recorder a notice of location, setting forth the name given to the lode or vein, the number of linear feet claimed in length along the course of the vein, the date of location, the date on which the boundaries of the claim were completed, and the name of the locator or locators. Should any claim be located in any section or territory where no district has

yet been formed, or where there is no district recorder, the locator or locators of such claims may file with the county recorder notice of location as set forth above, and said notice of location will be prima facie evidence in all courts of justice of the first location of said lode or vein. Within ninety days of the date of posting the location notice upon the claim the locator shall record his claim with the mining district recorder and the county recorder of the mining district, or county, in which such claim is situated by a location certificate, which must contain:

First. The name of the lode or vein.

Second. The name of the locator or locators.

Third. The date of the location and such description of the location of said claim with reference to some natural object or permanent monument as will identify the claim.

Fourth. The number of linear feet claimed in length along the course of the vein each way from the point of discovery, with a width on each side of the center of the vein, and the general course of the lode or vein as near as may be.

Fifth. The dimensions and location of the discovery shaft, or its equivalent, sunk upon the claim.

Sixth. The location and description of each corner, with the markings thereon.

Any record of the location of a lode mining claim which shall not contain all the requirements named in this section shall be void. All records of lode or placer mining claims, millsites or tunnel rights heretofore made by any recorder of any mining district, or any county recorder are hereby declared to be valid and to have the same force and effect as records made in pursuance of the provisions of this act. And any such record, or a copy thereof, duly verified by a mining recorder or duly certified by a county recorder, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated.

Notice to Claim but One Location

Sec. 4. No notice of location of a lode claim shall claim more than one location, whether the location be made by one or several persons. And if such notice purport to claim more than one location it shall be absolutely void, except as to the first location therein described. And if they are described together, or so that it cannot be told which location is first described the notice of location shall be void as to all.

What Location Includes.

Sec. 5. The location or record of any vein or lode claim shall be construed to include all surface ground within the surface lines thereof, and all lodes and ledges throughout their entire
