THE ALASKA MINING LAW
Being extracts from “Alaska Mining Law," by Hon. Henry
Roden, of Junegu. Reprinted by courtesy of the Author.
Eighth Installment.
No absolute rule can be giv
en as to what courts may
consider the result o f honest
mistake or error and what
they may consider as showing
fraud. In Montana it has been
held that a lode claim, which,
as marked upon the ground,
took in 1763 feet of the lode
was absolutely void. The
courts in other States have not
been as severe as the Montana
Court in their rulings upon
this point. It may safely be
said that where the excess is
reasonable and has been taken
in honestly through mistake
or error the locator is entitled
to carve out of the whole tract
so located the amount allow
ed him by law, and cast off
the excess area. But just the
point at which the excess be
comes so great as to render
the entire location void has
never been definitely declared
by any of the courts, so far a3
we are able to find. The gen
eral character and topography
of the country, the conditions
and seasons of the year in
which the location is made,
the opportunity the locator
had for learning that he has
made an excessive location, his
facilities for measuring the
claim and his subsequent con
duct wth reference to the area
embraced in the claim, are all
proper subjects of inqury and
consideration in determining
the good faith of the locator
of the excessive claim.

tv mie me r euerai Mining
Laws provide that a lode lo
cator has the right to take up
fifteen hundred feet along the
vein, the Territorial Act is
more specific and requires
the lode locator to state in his
location certificate in what di
rection from the discovery
post this amount of ground is
taken up by him. The location
notice, posted at or near to the
discovery, must state the num
ber of feet claimed. The en
tire width may be taken up
partly on one and partly on
the other side.
It follows that if the locator
I takes up more than his locat- j
i ion notice calls for, a second
comer may measure off the
amount called for in the lo
cation notice ad take up the
excess remaining.
The law also provides that
not more than three hundred
feet may be taken up on either
side of the center of the
claim( vein).
It follows that if more than
this amount is embraced in a
lode claim the excess is void
and may be taken up by an
other.
As soon as the locator orj
owner of a mining claim finds!
that his location is excessive,
or has reasonable grounds to
believe that ittcontains exces
sive area, it (behooves him to
proceed promptly to measure
his claim and cast off such ex
cess, otherwise the courts will
conclude from his delay that
it is his intention to claim
more land than allowed by
law under the location and
will declare the entire locat
ion void.
Annual Labor Upon Lode
Claims
After the discovery has been
made, the boundaries marked
and the location certificate
recorded, the title to the claim
has been fully established and
nothing further is required of
the lode claimant until after
the first day of July fol
lowing the date on which the
location was made. Between
July first following the
making of the location and
the last day of June of
that year the owner must per
form one hundred dollars
worth of improvements for its
benefit. It follows then that it
a lode claim is located on the
second day of July in any one
one year no work of any kind
is required prior to the fol
lowing first day of July. It
will be noticed that while the
placer locator must perform
one hundred dollars worth of
labor upon his claim each
year, including the year of lo
cation, no labor is required of
the lode locator during the
year of location.
It is unnecessary to go more
fully into the question as to
what constitutes assessment

work or annual lab'"' »->o«
-tie claims. The remarks made
upon this subject Win»
ence to placer claims are
equally applicable to lode lo
cations. The work must be
done on the claim, or if done
outside its boundaries, it must
tend to develop and benefit
; the claim for which it is done.
! As with placers, so with lode
! locations, a number of claims
may be grouped for the pur
pose of doing all the annual
labor at one place. If such is
done, care should be taken
and it should be remembered
that to accomplish thi3 the
claims must be contiguous,
that i3, they must adjoin one
another, they must be held in
common, which means that
the owner of each claim in
the group must have an inter
est in every claim embraced
in the group and the work
must tend to develop or bene
fit each on e of the claims. Al
though the Territorial Mining
Act expressly says that a sur
vey of a lode claim may be
treated as assessment work,
we feel confident that the pro
vision is void. We fail to see in
what respect surveying a claim
constitutes work done or im
provements made on the claim.
There can be no doubt that
the annual labor upon lode
claims must be done and com
pleted during the assessment
year. Commencing to perform
the work on the last day of
the assessment year will not
satisfy the law and if the work
is not done during the year
the claim becomes absolutely
forfeited and no amount of
labor subsequent to the expir
ation of the year will bring it
back into being. As with plac
er claims, so also with lode
claims, the Act of March 2,
1907, (commonly known as
the Waskey Act) is undoubt
edly in full force and effect
and must be strictly complied
with.
Affidavit of Labor for Lode
Locations. While an attempt
was made under the Territori
al act to compel the placer
claimant to record his affidav
it of labor under no less a pen
alty than that of having his
claim forfeited, no such dire
result was intended for the
lode claimant who failed to
record the affidavit of annual
labor. He may do so or he may
not, the only benefit gained
by doing so being that in case
of dispute the relocator has
the burden of proving that
the work was not done. In
order to eliminate all doubt
we repeat here that our Cir
cuit Court of Appeals has
held that the provision of the
Territorial act requiring plac
er claimants to record their
affidavit of labor is void. If
the lode claimant does fne
his affidavit o' labor he must
state therein, in addition to
what must be contained in
the placer affidavit, the rate
of wages charged for the
work, a statement that the
time consumed b; going to
or coming from .the claim has
not been included and that
not more han eight hours
work per man per day has
been charged. The affidavit,
to be of any benefit, must be
filed with the ) s« per recorder
within ninety days after the
expiration of the year for
which the annual laber was
performed.
