Mining Companies and
Mineral Claim Owners
Publication of Final Proof Notices
Preparations are now making by many com
panies for the securing of patents to copper and
gold claims in that rich mining section known
as the Chitina-Kotsina-Nizina district. Publi
cation of tinal proof must he made in accord
ance with the requirements of the law* which
are contained in the following excerpts of in
structions issued by the General Land Office at
Washington:
A notice of intended final proof must be published
in a newspaper of established character and of general
circulation in the vicinity of the land affected thereby,
such paper having a fixed and well known place of pub
lication.
No newspaper shall be deemed a qualified medium
of notice unless it shall have been continuously publish
ed during an unbroken period of six months immediate
ly preceding the publication of the notice, nor unless it
shall have applied for and been granted the privilege of
transportation in and by the United States mails at tiie
rate provided by law for second-class matter, a privilege
available to all newspapers having a legitimate list of
subscribers and a known place of publication.
The notice must in all cases Ih* published in the news
paper which may be issued at a place nearest to the lands
which the notice affects. By the word “nearest” as here
used it is not intended that geographical proximity shall
be measured on an air line drawn between the land and
the place of publication, hut by the length of the shortest
and principally traveled thoroughfare between such*
places, being the highway ordinarily used and employed
for travel by vehicles of any kind.
The law invests registers with discretion in the se
lection of newspapers to Is* the media of notice in such
cases as are here referred to.
Persons seeking to establish their right to a legal title
to any public lands are not authorized to interfere with
the discretion of the register in the choice of a news
paper in which to publish notice of their claims; nor
will any designation of a newspaper made by a register,
in the reasonable exercise of that discretion, he disturbed
on the ground that the claimant recommended another
newspaper.
Upon tiie receipt of the papers, if no reason appears
for rejecting the application, the register will, at the ex
pense of the claimant, (who must furnish the'agreement
of the publisher to hold applicant for patent alone respon
sible for charges of publication). publish a notice of such
application for the period of sixty days in a newspaper
published nearest to the claim, and will post a copy of
such notice in his office for the same period.
The law imposes upon registers the duty of procuring
the publication of proper final-proof in. !> and charges
the claimant with no ooligation in thut b't-Lalf, except
tnat he shall bear and pay the cost of such publication.
lhe Chitina Leader
fills the above requirements, and will publish
the necessary notices at less than 50 cents per
line, the price allowed by law to weekly news
papers, for the entire publication during sixty
days. So that there may be no delay, publish
ers’ agreement should be secured by writing to
