Tr NEAR FUTURE TO PRE
SENT LAWS
Subscribers often write to The
Gateway as well as many others
seeking copies of the mining laws
of Alaska. So for these, and others
interested in Alaska’s great nat
ural resource, same is published
herewith with the suggestion that,
it be clipped out and carefully pre- !
served for future use:
ALASKA MINING LAWS
The mining laws of the United
States were extended to Alaska by j
the Act of Congress approved May j
17, 1884, and with a few amend
ments particularly applicable to j
the Territory of Alaska, have been i
followed in the Territory since
that time.
These laws provide for the loca
tion and patenting of both lode
claims and placer claims.
Before making a location of a
lode claim it is necessary for the
locator to find gold, silver, copper,
lead, or some other mineral in rock
in place within the limits of the
land located. Following this dis
covery the locator is required to
mark the boundaries of the claim
which is limited to 300 feet on each
side of the lode discovered and
15C0 feet along said lode. After the
dscovery and the marking of the i
corners a notice is required to be
posted in a conspicuous place on
the claim giving the metes and
bounds description, the name of the
locator and the date of the loca
tion of the claim, a copy of this
notice to be recorded with the Re
corder for the district in which the
land is located within 90 days from
the day of the location. Following
the location the owner is required
to do $100 worth of work on, or for
the benefit of the claim during
each year until the land is patent
ed. After expending $500 for the
development of the claim the ow
ner can secure patent by having
the land surveyed, submitting evi
dence of the improvements, the
mineral character of the land, and
paying the government $5 an acre.
The other class of location is
known as placer claims. A location
of this kind is based upen the
discovery of gold, silver, copper or
other mineral in sand, gravel, or
other formation where the deposit
is not found in rock in place but
as a secondary deposit. Under the
law as frst extended to Alaska the
location of a placer claim amount- 1
ing to 20 acres could be made by
any citizen of the United States
who had made the required dis- i
covery, and 2 or more persons not j
exceeding 8 in number could lo - j
cate an association claim not to ]
exceed 1G0 acres, or in the propor-1
tion of 20 acres to each person. The
law required that the locator dur
ing each year after the location
expend $100 for the improvement
of the claim and as soon as he had
expended a total of $500 be was
allowed to secure patent by show
ing the character of the land, the
extent of his improvements, and
by paying the government $2.50
per acre.
Generally these law's still exist
in the Territory of Alaska, except
so far as they allude to placer
claims.
Under an Act of Congress a p
proved August 1, 1912, not more
than 2 placer claims of 20 acres
each can be located by an individ
ual in any one month, and no per
son can locate as agent more than
2 additional claims in any one
month for two others. This law
limits the size of an association
placer claim to 40 acres instead of
160 acres.
Patents can be issued only to
persons who are citizens of the
United States or to corporations
organized under the laws of the
several States.
