Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit. If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim. If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lod laim.
