(Both claims cannot be located in one location of 40 acres.)
3. A person mav locate for each of two other persons, during each calendar
month, two claims of 20 acres each. (So that one person, with two powers of at

sis claims,)
4. Powers of attorney must be in writing; they need not be acknowledged be
fore a notary, must be witnessed by two witnesses, and must be recorded in the re

3. Before any valid location can be made, a discovery must have been made
within the boun iaries of each claim to be located.
6. Immediately after making discovery, location notice must be posted at
point of discovery, containing [a] name or number of claim; [b] name of locator or
locators; [c] date'of discovery and posting of notice; [d] number of feet in length
and width claimed. .
7. Locator must immediately- proceed to mark his boundaries by planting
stakes at each corner not less than 3 feet above the ground and 3 inches through,
and brushing out and blazing all lines. All corner posts must be marked with the

phlet will soon be published with a copy of the law, in small book form.]_
