Show Mineral Location Law Is Changed Recent changes in the law governing gov-erning mine location makes it imperative im-perative that within sixty days after the location of the claim, a post or stone monument must be erected at each corner of the claim and at the center of each end line. The post or stone monument must be at least eighteen inches high. Also, upon every lode or placer claim, the locator shall, within ninety days after the date of location, lo-cation, sink a discovery shaft at the point of discovery to a depth of at least 10 feet exposing the dey posit upon which discovery and location lo-cation is based, or shall drive a tunnel, adit or open cut upon the claim at the discovery point to at least ten feet below the surface, exposing the deposit upon which such discovery and location is based. New statutory regulations affecting af-fecting placer locations provide that on all placer mining locations containing more than twenty acres, the locator must within ninety days after the date of location, lo-cation, perform at least one dollar's dol-lar's worth of work for each acre included in the claim. This work may all be done at one place on the claim, if so desired, and must be actual mining development work exclusive of cabins, building and other surface structures. New statutory regulations affecting af-fecting relocations provide that the relocation of any lode or placer claim shall be made in the same way as an original location except that the relocator may either sink a new shaft or drive a new tunnel or he may sink the original dis-ivery dis-ivery shaft ten feet deeper than it is at the same time of relocation, reloca-tion, or drive the original tunnel, adit or open cut upon such claim ten feet further. New statutory regulations regarding re-garding forfeiture of location provide pro-vide that the failure or neglect of the locator to comply with the a-bove a-bove requirements shall render the location null and void and not subject sub-ject to relocation by the same locator lo-cator for the period of three years from the date of such void location. |
