the location of new claim; or the re-
locator may sink the original discov-
cry shaft ten feet deeper than it was at
the time of Abandonment, in which
the record must give the depth and di-
mansions of the original discovery shaft
at the date of such relocation, and erect
new or adopt the old boundaries, re-
newing the posts or monuments If re-
moved or destroyed. In either case
a new location stake shall be erected.
In any case, whether the whole or
part of an abandoned claim is taken
the record may state that the whole or
any part OF the new location is located
as a~bandonded property. If it is not
known to the ~relocator that his loca-
ton is on an abandoned claim, then the
provisions of this section do not apply.
Sec. 8. Where a locator, or his as
signs, has the boundaries and orner
of his CLAIM established by United
States deputy mineral surveyor, or a
licensed surveyor of this State, and
his claim connected with a corner OF
the public or minor surveys of an es-
tablished initialpoint, and incorporates
into the record of the claim the field
notes of such survey, and attaches to
and files with such location certificate
a certificate of the surveyor, setting
forth: First, that said survey was
actually made by him, giving the date
thereof: second, the name OF h claim
surveyed and the location thereof;
third, that the description incorporated
in the declaratory statement is suffi-
Gent to identify. Such survey and
certificate becomes a part of the record,
and such record is prima facie evidence
of the facts therein contained.
Sec. 8. The amount of work done
orimprovements made during such year
to hold possession of "a mining claim
shall be that prescribed by the laws OF
the United States, to wit: One hun

formed upon any mining claim, to hold
the same under the laws of the United
States, the value of a days labor is
hereby fixed at the sum of four dollars;
provided, however, that in the sense
OF this statute eight hours of labor
actually performed upon the mining
claim, shall constitute a days labor.
Sec. 10. Within sixty days after the
performance of labor or making of i'm
provements, required by law to be an

mining claim, the person in whose be-
half such labor was performed, or i'm

ed by such expenditures, or labor or
improvements, for what year, and the
name OF the owner or claimant of said

made or performed. Such affidavit, or
a copy thereof, duly certified by the
