THE ALASKA IMG LAW
M ----J
Being extracts from “Alaska Mining Law,” by Hon. Henry
Roden, of Juneau. Reprinted by courtesy of the Author.
Seventh Installment.
Lode claims may be located
under power of attorney.
There is no limit to the num
ber that one may stake either
for himself or for others. No
authority in writing is required
and no verbal instruction to
stake for another is necessary
so long as the one for whom
the claim is located will not
decline to accept it when It is
presented to him. The placer
locator, it will be remembered,
can use only one power of at
torney within one milling dis
trict and can only locate two
claims for himself and two un
der power of attorney in one
month in the same district.
His authority must be executed
with all the formalities of law
and recorded prior to the re
cording of the location certifi
cate. Not so, however, with the
j locator of lode claims. He may
stake as many claims as he
wishes for himself and for
others and be only limited by
the expanse of the country
over which he is willing to
travel.
Section 2320 of the Federal
mihing act reads: “No locat
ion of a mining claim shall be
made until the discovery of
the vein or lode within the
limits of the claim located.”
Section 10 of the Territorial
act reads: “Any person who
discovers upon the public do
main of the United States,
within the Territory of Alas
ka, a vein, lode, or ledge of

rock in place, bearing gold,
silver, cinnabar (etc., *may*
locate a lode mining claim
upon such vein, lode or
ledge * .”
It is agreed then that the dis
covery of some valuable min
eral in the vein, lode or ledge
which is to be located is an
absolute necessity. This dis
covery- must be made in the
rock which is fount! in place,
that is, in the rock which
forms the vein. There is no
fixed rule as to what consti
tutes a discovery and much
depends upon surrounding con
ditions. The finding of some
i valuable mineral in rock in
place under such conditions
and in such quantities as will
; be an incentive for a person
of ordinary intelligence to ex
pend further time, labor and
effort upon the property in
which it was found with a
reasonable expectation of de
veloping a paying mine, will
undoubtedly satisfy the law.
As between the government as
the owner of all the unappro
priated mineral lands, on the
one nand, and a lirst comer on
the other hand, it is immateri
al which one of the acts re
quired to make a valid mining
location is done first. But
when twq individuals attempt
to acquire the same parcel of
land it is then that the quest
ion of priority of discovery be
comes the deciding issue and it
may be said with much con
fidence that he who makes |
the first substantial discovery
will succeed provided, of
course, that he follows up his i
discovery by performance of
the other acts required to be
done to make his location per
fect under the law. What was
said concerning the making
and nature of a discovery I
in reference to placer claims
applies with equal force to
the location of lodes claims.
A substantial discovery of rock
in place must be the foundat
ion upon which each mining
location is built and a single
discovery cannot be construed
into two discoveries in order to
support two locations by run
ning an imaginary line through
the discovery point.
Marking Place of Discovery
and Boundaries. The discovery
upon which the lode location
rests must be marked upon
the ground by the removal of
so much of the overburden as
may be necessary to expose
jjlearly the reip discovered
This exposure must be pre
served for future inspection,
if necessary, and a substantial
stake or monument of rock,!
earth or stone must be placed
or erected close to it and upon
his stake or monument the
location notice must be posted.
Tbe boundaries of the claim
must be distinctly marked up
on the ground so that the

same may be readfly traced.
Substantal stakes, posts or
! monaments must be erected at
; the corners and angles if there
j are angles in the side lines.
If trees or posts are used they
j must not be less than three
I inches in diameter and they
| must be blazed. Less formality
is required in the marking of
the boundaries of a lode claim
than a placer claim. The Ter
ritorial act provides that the
corner angle stakes or monu
ments must be marked with
the “initials” of the lode or
claim and a “designation as to
the point upon the boundaries
of the claim which said monu
ment represents. This, probably
means, in ordinary language,
that each corner or angle
stake or monument must be
marked with the name 01
number of the claim and the
number of the corner or
angle in regular rotation, or
the compass point which it
represents in the boundary of
the claim, ^uch as Northeast
or Southwest corner. The cent
er line as well as the end lines
must be marl.ed with line
stakes and in a wooded coun
try the brush must be cut out
or a line of trees blazed. By
“center line” is undoubtedly
meant the center of the vein
or lode and not the center of
the claim.
Whenever it is impossible on
account of inaccessibility, to
place a corner monument
where it truly belongs, whai
is called a “witness monu
ment” may be used and plac
ed as near to the true corner
as possible, and upon this w!t
aess monument must be stated
the true location of the corner
or angle which it represents.
This witness monument must
be of the same size as are the
other corner stakes or monu
ments.
After discovery has been
made and the discovery stake
or monument established and
the corners and angles of the
location marked by substantial
stakes and monuments, the lo
cator has thirty days within
which to mark thoroughly the
boundaries of his claim. As
soon as the discoverer has as
certained or determined what
portion of the public domain
he desires to embrace within
his location, he should post
his location notice upon his
discovery post. This notice
must contain:
—The name of the claim or
lode;
2— The name of the locator,
or, if more than one, the
names of the locators;
3— The number of linear feet
claimed in length along the
center line of the claim (mean
ing along the vein) each way
■from the -point - of- - discovery
and the width of the claim on
each side of the center line of
the claim (vein) and also the
general course of the lode
claimed.
Care should be taken in the
preparation of this notice and
the preservation of it after it
has been attached to the dis
covery monument.
All the acts of location have
now been performed and noth
ing remains to be done except
to file the location certificate
in the office of the recorder

within whose .recording dis
trict the claim is situated. This
location certificate must con
tain all the information found
in the location notice a id in
addition thereto must contain
the date of the location (which
the Territorial act does not re
quire in the location notice)
and also such a description of
the claim and its boundaries
with reference-to some natu
ral object or permanent monu
ment as will identify it. in
other words, the claim must be
tied to some well known ob
ject or permanent monument.
A prominent rriounia'n, th.
mouth of a creek or river or a
well known mining claim and
the stakes planted by survey
ors when making public sur
veys, have been held to be
natural objefts or permanent
monuments. The purpose of
this is that a stranger, from
a mere reading of the location
certificate in the office of the
recorder may have no diffi
culty" in ascertaining the lo
cation of the claim.
Excess Area In Lode Locatin'
The law expressly prov des
that no lode location shall
take in more than fifteen hun
dred feet along the vein or
| lode and not moye than h;ee
hundred feet on each si'e ot
! the center of the vein. t is
: difficult for prospectors o 1 y
out accurately their b-ati ns
so that no more ground is tak
en i.p than allowed by law.
i We shall see later that whor:
I the location is short, that ?*
1 where it covers less than fir
j teen hundred feet alou.” th •
the vein or takes in les3 than
three hundred feet on each
side thereof, an amended lo
cation may be made and un
der this additional ground may
be taken up. Where too much
ground has been taken up,
provided such was done by
honest mistake and without
any desire or intent to take up
a larger quantity of land than
permitted by law, the locator
is entitled to retain to the limit
which the law permits, and
only the territory within his
location which is in excess of
these limits must be rejected
by him. This may be accom
plished by means of an amend
ed location and the fil'ng of
an amended location certifi
cate, as fully described in a
subsequent chapter. The lo
cator should be careful. If he
takes in more ground than ;
fair minded and reasona’ le
man might be expected to do
under similar circumstances
he runs the risk of having a
court come to the conclusion
that it was his intention to
take up purposely and know
ingly, more ground than al
lowed by law and this would
entail less of the--entire locat
ion. The law is well setter!
that where an excessive min
eral location has been made
through mistake, while the lo
cator was acting in good faith
the location will be void only
as to the excess; but where
the locator hak purposel/ in
cluded within his exterior '
boundaries an excessive area
with the fraudulent intent of
holding the entire area under
one location, the whole of
such location is void, and the
same result follows if the lo
cator has made his location
so large that it cannot be con
sidered the result of innocent
mistake. In such case the law
will presume that his intention
was fraudulent and he will
lose his entire location.
