Alaska the Crown Owns One

Laws in Your Klondike Hat.

Under the laws of the United States
miners have much greater freedom
than under the Canadian laws.
To a great extent the men in each
mining district may determine for
themselves the laws by which they
shall abide Thus, a solitary miner
may discover region rich in ore and
may stake out, say, twenty acres, which
may be done up to the limit of 100
acres on payment of $40 or $50 an
acre, according to certain conditions.
But if other miners come in before
the claim IS duly recorded they may
organize what is known as miners
district and declare that no single in
dividual shall be allowed to stake out
more than 1.5C0 feet by 1880 feet.
The original claimant has to submit
or GO into endless lawsuits, which he
is almost never prepared to do.
The United States government says
that no single individual can enter or
locate upon more than 160 acres, nor
can an association enter upon more
than 800 acres. The government, be-
fore patent issues, requires payment
for mining land at the rate Of $40 per
acre where the claim is situated more
than fifteen miles from a railroad.

located less than fifteen miles from

mill or reduction works not owning a

receive a patent for his mill at $40

CONCERNING THE RIGHT TO NINE
The location must be along a vein or
lode; it must be distinctly marked on
the ground so that its boundaries can
be traced correctly. The record must
contain reference TO some natural OBJ
ject or permanent monument to iden-
tify the claim and all lines must be
parallel. Remaining details are gov
erned by regulations established by the
miners Of each district, not inconsis-
tent with national Or State laws.
The right to mine can be given in
public lands only, and said lands must
contain valuable mineral deposits. Two
miners tried to file twenty acre claims
once in such a way as to obtain control
Of the entire length of both banks OF a
creek thirty miles long. Other min
ers came in and organized a mining
district Then they declared that no
mining claim should extend along
the creek more than 1890 feet. The
original claimants went TO court and
petitioned that inasmuch as they had
taken up the claim primarily for the
purpose of cattle pasture. they should
be allowed to hold it. The court ruled
that a claim for a cattle pasture run
ming in a strip only one foOr wide could
not be entertained and dismissed tue
petition.
WHAT AN APPLICANT MUST DO
An applicant for claim must file in
the proper land office an application
for q patent under oatn, showing a
compliance with the law. He must
file also a plot and field notes OF the
