MINING CLAIMS.
When They are Forfeited Under
the Law

When They are Forfeited Under
the Law.
The Commissioner of the Land
Office has recently given an interpreta.
ton to the Congressional Mining Law,
which should be generally understood
by miners. He says that a mining
claim is forfeited whenever the assess
ment year is so nearly expired that the
requisite amount of work cannot posi-
bly, be done III time. and possession is
not resumed until the locator fully
complies with the law In these respects.
A relocator, who takes possession of u
mining claim before the locator's year
expires, cannot be ousted by the latter
while holding in conflict with the law.
The only safe plan, therefore, is to
make sure that full hundred dollars
worth of work has been done on the
claim in time to prevent any risk of
future trouble.
