THE ALASKA MINING LAW
Being extracts from “Alaska Mining Law,” by Hon. Henry
Roden, of Juneau. Reprinted by courtesy of the Author.
Ninth Installment.
So long as the provisions are
complied with the locator may
do and deal with or concern
ing his claim as he deals with
other property belonging to
him. If he dies it will descend
to his heirs and it may be at
tached and sold by the mar
shal to pay the owner’s debts.
After five hundred dollars
worth of labor has been per
formed or improvements made,
the locator or owner may ap
ply to the Land Department
and have a patent* issued for
the claim. The issuance of the
patent gives him the absolute
fee simple title and no further
assessment work is required {
to b'e done upon the claim aft
er patent issues. We will not
here go into the matter of se
curing patent as we have re
served this subject for a later
chapter, for in such matters
the services of an attorney are
almost indispensable.
Forfeiture of Interest.
Since not more than fifteen
hundred feet along the vein
maybe taken in one location,
however many persons may
join in it, the general practice
is such that but one locator
appears in the location of a
lode claim. But where two or
more join in the location or
where through sale and pur
chase two or more parties have
become the owners of a locat
ion, one or more of them maj- j
fail to contribute his share of |
the annual labor required to
be done upon each location j
during each year and thereby
the interest of the delinquent!
co-owner becomes subject to
forfeiture.
Where two or more persons
are interested in one and the
same claim they become what
is known as tenants in common j
or co-owners, and each of the
co-owners is required to con
tribute his share of the annual
labor. Each one must see thafc
at least one hundred dollars
worth of work is done upon j
1 the claim and the owner of |

an undivided half interest can
not save his half by perform
ing fifty dollars worth of work.
It is immaterial how many
owners there are as long as
one hundred dollars worth of
work is done—either by one
or by all. Nothing les3 will
do and no more is required.
For that reason a co-owner
who performs the work may
enforce contribution from his
co-owners and if any one of
them fails to pay his proport
ionate share the one perform
ing the work may cau^k the
interest of the delinquent co
owner in the claim to become
forfeited if such delinquent
fails to pay his share within a
period of ninety days after he
has received notice to do so.
A number of years may be
included in one forfeiture not
ice but until such notice has
actually been given, a delin
quent co-owner can come in
at any time and claim his in
terest in the ground and all
he has to do i§ to pay his share
of the annual labor that was
performed during the period
he was delinquent.
Where a claim is divided ei
ther between original locators
or others or by purchase one
hundred dollars worth of la
bor must be done or improve
rr. ta made for each divided
proportion, because each part,
under ^he law, for the purpose
of doing assessment work, be
comes a separate and distinct
claim even though these sep
arate parts become the prop
erty of one owner again. For
the purpose of performing the
annual labor, the parts remain
separated and the owner or
owners of each part must per
form one hundred dollars
worth of labor for each par
cel acquired by him or them.
In other words, if the area of
the claim has ever been divid
ed, this division remains and
each portion requires separate
and full annual labor.
Lode Locations Over Placers
The question “Can a qualified
locator enter the limits of a
valid subsisting placer claim,
held by possessory title only,
(not patented) and prospect
for, discover and locate a lode
claim over it, not claimed by
the owner of the placer?” is
somewhat difficult to answer.
The law provides that as

roon as all the acts of location,
that is, making of discovery,
marking boundaries and re
cording the location certificate
have been performed, the
ground embraced within the
lines becomes segregated from
the large body of public do
main and becomes the prop
erty of the locator and he shall
be the sole owner thereof; he
has full and complete control
over the location and may sell
it and at the time of his death
the land descends to his heirs.
The only condition imposed
upon him is the perfomance
of the annual assessment work.
The owner’s title is good
against all the world, except
the United States of America,
and under the laws now in
force, he never need apply for
a patent in order to protect
himself in the full enjoyment
of his mining claim.
No person has any right, so
the Supreme Court of tht i
United States has held, to in
vade the possession of an- |
other. The law of possessory I
rights gives the mining locat- j
or exclusive rights, and one i
who enters upon the possession ;
of another is a trespasser ana j
no right can be initated in
trespass.

arisen between a placer claim
ant and one who had located '
a lode claim within the lines
of the placer. The decisions 01 ■
the Courts and of the Lana
Department are not as dear !
cut and decisives as one might!
desire and the miner and pros
pector would gain little if an> ;
thing, were we to go into a
detailed and critical explanat
ion- of this question. The law
is plain upon the point that ii
a placer location contains
wthin its boundaries a lode
claim, the presence of which
is known or by the exercise oi j
reasonable effort may be as
certained, and the place: !
claimant makes his application
for patent without mentioning
the existence of the lode claim,
the patent, when finally issued
to him, will give him no right:
to the lode claim but it will
expressly exclude all knowi
lodes existing within the
boundaries of the patented
placer claim, and such lode
claim may be taken up b>
any one, provided entry can
be made without fraud, force
[ or breach of the peace. If the
i placer claimant would acquire
the title to the lode claim he
should locate it and treat it as
an independent location, en
, tirely divorced from his place:
! claim, and when he makes ap
plication for patent of his
placer claim he should show
the existence of the lode claim
and apply for patent for that
as well and his patent will
cover both*.'
When the owner of a placer
applies for patent and no lode
i is known to exist within its
boundaries, patent will issue
to him for his placer claim and
everything else it may contain,
! including any after discovered
i lodes.
If a qualified locator can
i peaceably enter within the
boundaries of a valid placet
; location and make a discover},
i of mineral in rock in place, he
has a perfect right to make

a lode location within the rhe
er, but in that event his locat
ion shall not be more than
twenty-five feet on each ride
of the center of the ve:n ~
ing his claim a total width ot
50 feet by 1500 feet along ilie
vein, and, once the location
has been made, the placer lo
•ator cannot deprive th • 1 ,de
laimant of any rights acq ur
d. It follows then that when
ever a lode prospector enters
upon a valid placer Ideation
with the intention of proop _et
ng therein for lode deposits,
the placer locator shoull lo;e
no time in having such pri
sons enjoined.
We have seen that, under the
rulings of the Supremi Court
of the United States, a placei
locator is entitled to the sole
and exclusive possession of
surface covered by his locat
ion, and an entry thereon by
another, against his will, for
th e purpose of prospecting
by sinking shafts or otherwise,
is a trepasser and such a tres
pass cannot sustain a claim of
right to any vein or lode dis
covered by the trespasser.
