How to Stake
A Lode Claim
In Alaska
Staking parties continue to fly
a:' ■ the Lost River area to take
up mining ground in the recently
. iiseovered beryllium.
Many of the people staking are
new in the mining industry and
have had to learn how to stake
a lode claim before suing to Lost
River.
According to an information
bulletin from the Department of
Natural Resources the following
is required:
Lode claims are staked where
the v a 1 u a b 1 e mineral is “in
place.” undisturbed in its original
position in a vein or lode in bed
rock. There is no restriction on
the number of lode claims that
may be staked, but the locator
mould remember that assessment
work must be done for each of his
claims if he is to hold them. The
dimensions of lode claims cannot
be longer than 1,500 feet along the
vein, nor extend more than 300
feet from the vien on either side.
Thus, the maximum size of the
lode claim, when possible, is 1,500
by 600 feet with vein outcrop
(called the apex' running through
the center of the claim lengthwise.
The end lines of the lode claim
must be parallel if the miner is
to have extra-lateral rights which
i t atiile him to mine the vein after
it passes out from under the side
lines, but require him to remain
j between the downward vertical
extensions of the end lines. Thus,
if the claim is properly staked, he
; may mine the vein as deep as he
wishes, regardless of which waj
j it dips, but he cannot mine more
it than 1,500 feet, or his claim length
X of the vein laterally. All clam
; ■ dimensions are horizontal disances
, n >t slope distances.
5 A minimum of seven posts o
a monuments is required to follov
s legal requirements in locating ;
i lode claim. One post must be or
each corner, one in the center o
each end line where the line cross
es the apex of the vein, and one a
- the discovery point on which th<
5 i location notice must be posted. A:
- with the placer claim, posts oi
\ monuments are also required a
j any angle of the boundary lines
’ and all boundary lines should b<
i marked or brushed out. With both
types of claims, posts are requirec
j to be at least three feet high and
■ three inches in diameter, hewn
i square, and marked with a corner

where he is taking out coarse gold.
Archie Ferguson and associates
are mining at Candle Creek and
around Candle Creek. Fred Wein
ert has his operation.
At Lost River L. Grotha is min
ing tin. but it was not known if
any ore was to be shipped this
year.
Pearse Walsh stated that several
charter trips were made to the
new beryllium strike for staking
and several more groups are sched
uled to leave as planes become
available.
Bill Burand explained the pro
cess of staking on lode claims and
will leave a copy of the instruc
tions at the Nugget Office. He will
also assist any one with other in
formation on lode staking at his
office in the Bureau of Mines Bldg.
Pearse Walsh reported that Pres

weekend and more information
will be announced at a later date.
Guests of the Chamber included
Mr. and Mrs. Felix Hakkinen, of
Haines who gave an interesting
account of some of the items being
! produced in that community, such
as Polish sausage made from cari
bou: smoked salmon with three
, flavors; canned salmon; and the
. use of wild products such as sea
weed and goose-tongues.
Mrs. Jo Decker, widow of the

number or name and an indicated
direction to the next corner. Where
material for posts is not available,
rock monuments may be substi
tuted. Where true corner locations
are impossible to reach, witness
posts may be used. Practically the
same information is written on
the lode location notice and certi
ficates as with the placer, posting
and recording are done in the same
manner, and forms for each may
be purchased from various printing
concerns in Alaska.
To legally hold unpatented claims
after they are staked and record
ed, $100 worth of assessment work
must be done on each claim during
each assessment year. This work
must be done in such a way as to
improve the claim or benefit it
toward the eventual mining or ex
traction of minerals.
