DOMINION COAL LANDS. I. THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS APPLY TO COAL MINED ON DOMINION LANDS FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES ONLY. 9 FEBRUARY, 1897. 2. The frontage of a coal mining location shall not exceed three chains in width measured in direct distance and the length thereof shall not exceed ten chains, nor shall it be less than five chains, except where the ground is covered by a prior location. Its boundaries beneath the surface shall be the vertical planes in which its surface boundaries lie. 3. The location shall be marked on the ground by placing at each of its four corners a wooden post not less than four inches square, driven not less than eighteen inches into the ground and showing that length above it. If the ground is too rocky to admit of so driving such posts, the claimant shall build about each of them, to support it and keep it in place, a cairn or mound of stones, at least three feet in diameter at the base, and eighteen inches high. If the location be timbered, a line shall be run and well blazed joining the said posts. If it be not timbered, and the ground is of such a nature that any one post cannot be seen from the ends of either of the lines which form the angle at which the said post is placed, posts flattened on two sides (such flattened portions facing the directions of the line) shall be planted or mounded along the side lines wherever necessary so that no difficulty may be experi enced by a subsequent prospector or explorer discovering or following the boundaries of any location. If the location be laid out with its boundaries due North and South and East and West, then the claimant shall mark on the post at the Northeast angle of the location, legibly with a cutting instrument or with colored chalk, his name in full, the date of such marking and the letters M.L. No. 1, to indicate that the post is Mining Location Post No. 1. Proceeding next to the Southeasterly angle of the location, he shall mark the post planted there with the letters M.L. No. 2, and his initials; next to the Southwesterly angle of the location the post planted at which he shall mark with the letters M... No. 3, and his initials, and lastly to the northwesterly angle of the location, the post planted at which he shall mark with the letters M.L. No. 4, and his initials. If the location be laid out by other than due North and South and East and West lines, the first mentioned post shall be the one at the northerly angle; the second the one at the Easterly angle; the third the one at the Southerly angle, and the fourth the one at the Westerly angle; furthermore on the face of each post, which face shall in the planting thereof be turned towards the post which next follows it in the order in which they are named and numbered, there shall be marked in figures the number of yards distant to the next following post. If means of measurement are not available, the distance to be so marked on each of the posts may be that estimated. If the corner of a location falls in a ravine, bed of a stream, or any other situation where the character of the locality may render the planting of a post impossible, the said corner may be indicated by the erection at the nearest suitable point of a witness post, which in that case shall contain the same marks as those prescribed in this clause with regard to corner posts, together with the letters W.P., and an indication of the bearing and distance of the site of the true corner from such witness post. 4. If the location is situated within territory where no surveys have been made, it shall be connected with some prominent feature in the locality, the connection to be shown on a sketch to be furnished by the claimant. If it is situated on the bank of a stream, the claimant shall show on the sketch the general course of the stream, any ravine running back from the same, and such other topographical features as are noticeable. |
