! not buying a costly legal igh. for the future.
! Investors, especially foreign investors, often
! fight shy of purchases account of this apex
law, and make its possible effect a chief thing
of study. They don't know how soon the vein
will be found to cross the side line 800 lee t
away and lead TO trouble. With claim 1900
feet wide there would be no pig IN poks IS
far this is concerned. The United States is
the only country besides Bolivia and Mashona-
land i'll which a miDe-owner may follow his
vein outside his claim boundaries.
New forms of location notic,s for use in
California are among the interesting features
OF the notable work of Curtis II. Iindley OH
American Mining Law, which is about to be
issued from the press. These forms differ
from most or all of the forms viii ch have come
into use since the new California law went
into effect in Nav last. The most
material difference is that there is in
the preliminary notice no attempt to
describe the boundaries, as in generally
done. 1t is held that-the purpose of the law
IN allowing sixty days for the recording of the
final notice was 10 give the discoverer time to
trace his vein and fix his boundaries. Though
description is not required in the prelim-
mary nouce if it be given, il is not likely that
different 'undaries could legally be fixed n
the final certificate should the sixty days of
development work make it desirable The
forms for lode lOcatio IS which Mr.. Lin6ley
has framed follows:
