(Continued From Yesterday)
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LABOR (PLACER).
Under the law passed by the 1935 Territorial Legislature at least
$lf)0 worth 'if lab'1)' r money must be expended each year for every
2() acre- or (r.rt. n thereof contained in every placer locatr ii made
on and after that date. No assessment labor is necessary during the
fractional year in which the location is made (to July 1st follow
ing). A failure to perform the annual assessment labor in any
year that it is required constitutes forfeiture. Assessment labor
must be fully performed before neon on the first day of each July,
and .1 not fully so performed before that time, any person may
reloe. >9 the claim as if no prior location had ever been made. (The
law allowing resumption of labor before July 1st does no apply to
Alaska, See Act of Confress March 2. 1907, which has never been
repealed).
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LABOR (LODE CLAIMS).
The same rule applies to lode claims, to the extent that it is a
safe rule to go by. inconnection with lode claims now in existence.
* * * * * *
While the matter has never been before the courts it is
believed that with the repeal of the Wickersham Act in .1936,
all mining claims theretofore located were thereafter and are
now, with regard to annual assessment labor, subject to the
general mining laws of the United States w'hich require that but
$100 work and labor be performed upon a mining claim each
year, in other words, all claims located prior to March 14,
1935. whether twenty-acre claims or association claims, require
but $100 worth of work or labor to be expended thereon or for

} its benefit to fully satisfy the requirement of annual assessment
labor as by law required.
The Territorial law of 1035 does not attempt to regulate
annual assessment labor on claims located prior to its passage.
It might be argued that claims located under the provisions of
the Wickersham Act must comply with the Wickersham Law
as to assessment labor but the ground for such contention seems
! far fetched.
******
AFFIDAVITS OF ANNUAL LABOR.
It is not necessary to record affidavits of annual labor, but it
is a good policy to do so. Facts alleged in such affidavits are pre
sumed in law to be true andcanbe discredited only by a preponder
ance of evidence to disprove them.
If you fail to record affidavits of annual labor, the burden of
proof rests upon you to prove that the said assassment labor was
actually performed as required by law. An adverse claimant is in
much better position to contest your rights where mo affidavit
appears on the records.
RIGHTS ACQUIRED UNDER A VALID PLACER LOCATION.
Under a valid placer location one acquires the exclusive right
to use and possession of the surface of the claim, everything thereon
and everything thereunder, except that he acquires no right to
lodes, ledges or veins known to exist at the time of his placer loca
tion. Where any such known lode, ledge, or vein is not appropri
ated at the time of making the placer location, and it. or a part
thereof is within the boundaries of the placer location, a separate
lode location should be made by the placer locator to fully protect
all his rights.
If at the time of making the placer location no known lode,
ledge or vein exists within the boundaries of such location, the
placer locator has the right to prevent a stranger from prospecting
within his location for such unknown lode or mineral bearing rock.
One who relocates an abandoned or forfeited placer or lode
claim acquires title to any and all permanent improvements made
by his predecessor to the same extent that he acquires title to the
ground. When one abandons or forfeits his rights under a mining
location, all of his rights to the claim revert to the government, and
thereafter to a later bona fide relocator.
RIGHTS ACQUIRED UNDER A VALID QUARTZ LOCATION.
One who makes a valid mineral location has a right to the use
and benefit of everything upon the surface of the claim and to all
minerals, both placer and quartz, beneath the surface thereof and

the vein, ledge or lode in a downward course as far as he may
desire, even though in its course, such vein or ledge liverges sor far
from the perpendicular as to extend byond a line perpendicular to
his side lines. (This is only a general statement and should be
taken accordingly. There are many exceptions to the general rule
which space forbids in this treatise).
I
TITLE OF A LOCATOR OF MINING GROUND
Under a valid location of mining ground (quartz or placer) the
locator acquires an equity in the ground which is equal to fee simple
I title as against all persons except the United States. Nobody can
[question this title except the United States. 'The right thus acquired
, nay be sold, hypothecated, leased or otherwise disposed of as if it
I were fee simple title. And this title is good as long as you do
what the government says you must do to preserve it. Title be
comes fee simple after a patent has been issued from the United
i States.
But always bear in mind that your title to an unpatented min
ing claim in the United States is founded and based upon a valid
location under the laws of the country and its continuance is based
upon your doing what the government says you must do each year
to preserve it. If a claim is worth staking, stake it properly. If
it is worth holding, do your annual labor honestly.
