AMENDED LOCATION Iflo
ACRES NOT TO
INCLUDE NEW GEOUNF
The much mooted point as to
whether a 160 acre association min
ing claim can he amended so as to
take in new ground seems to be
settled by the following message
from Surveyor-General Theile to
Martin Strand, of Nome.
“One hundred sixty acre placer
location cannot be amended to take
ir new ground. Order for survey
of such amended location should
not be Issued.
THEILE. Surveyor-General.”
Mr. Strand discovered that a 20
acre claim upon which he has been
doing the assessment work for the
owners, had been annexed to and
made a part of an adjoining 160
acre tract by an amended location
and on which a survey for patent
had been made.
The right of staking 160 acre
tracts by eight associate locators
was abolished by Act of Congress
approved Aug. 1. 1912. and since
that date no association larged than
46 acres can be staked. A 160 acre
tiact staked prior to Aug. 1, 1912,
is of course still a valid location. It
seems certain that the only valid
amended location which can be
made and Hied for such a claim is
for the more purpose of defining
and describing the boundaries more
accurately.
