ADJOINING CLAIMS.
Thomas Placer Mine" adjoins on the last
chains of the first course; no other known
claims near.
Said location was made during the year 1852
by a company of Weshmen, consisting of Jno
NJ. Jones and others, whose names at pres
ent unknown, which location is not of record,
it not being the custom of miners to record their
mining claims in said Bath Nj ming District, and
is bounded on the southwest by the Thomas
Placer Mine, and on all other sides by unoccu-
pied mineral land.
All persons holding any adverse claim thereto,
are hereby required to present the same before
this Office within sixty days from the first day
of publishing and posting hereof.
