THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1929.. STEWART TELLS ABOUT LOCATING MINING CLAIMS Supervising Mining Engin- eer Discusses British Columbia Rules “Large numbers of people have inquired at this office regarding the newly discovered mining dis- trict up the Taku River. I believe that this new strike is the great- est encouragement to prospecting in Southeast Alaska that has oc- curred in years,” B. D. Stewart, Supervising Mining Engineer for the U. S. Bureau of Mines, said. “My supply of excellent, detailed topographic maps of the region has been exhausted, but I understand that a further supply will soon be available at the Hayes Shop, which is the agent for the Coast and Geodetic Survey charts. “In addition to the highly min- eralized district on the Canadian side of the boundary there is a| belt, between five and ten miles in width, lying on the Alaska side| of the boundary at the Taku Riv- er. That belt embraces the rocks of what is known as the Eastern contact belt. This is the belt of rock in which the mining proper- ties of the Hyder district and the new properties of the Taku River, are found. “The actual contact of this belt with the granitic rocks that form the core of the Coast Range may be seen at Taku River in the val- ley of Johnston Creek, which is the stream that enters the Taku| from the southeast, just above the Twin Glacier Camp. This belt is worthy of notice on the part of| prospectors,” Mr. Stewart said. Requirements for Prospectors According to information which, Mr. Stewart has obtained from| “The angles of a claim must all lowed on the dip,” Mr. Stewart said. be right angles, unless the bound- aries, or one of them, are the same as those of a previously recorded claim,” according to the official bulletin, Manner of Location “A mineral claim islocated by crecting three ‘legal posts’ These are stakes having a heighth of not less than four feet above |ground and squared four inches at least on each face for not less than a foot from the top. A tree stump so cut and squared also con- stitutes a ‘legal post’ The ‘dis- lcovery post,’ is placed at the point wher the mineral in place is dis- covered. Numbers one and two posts are placed as early as pos- sible on the line of the ledge or vein shown by the ‘discovery post,’ and mark the boundaries of the claim. “Upon each of these three posts must be written: ‘Initial post. Direction of Post No. 2 (giving approximate compass bearing) feet of this claim lie on the right, feet on the left of the line from No. One to No. Two posts.’ “The location line between num- bers one and two posts must be distinctly marked. In a timbered locality by blazing trees and cut- ting underbrush, and in a bare country by monuments of earth or rock, not less than two feet in diameter at the base and at least two feet high, so that the line can be distinctly seen. Must Be Recorded “Mineral claims must be recorded in the Mining Recorder’s office for the mining division within which they are situated within 15 days from the date of location. One day extra being allowed for each ten miles of distance from the recording office after the first ten miles. “If a claim is not recorded in time, it is deemed abandoned and is open for relocation. But if the original locator wishes to relocate, he can only do so by permission of the Gold Commissioner of the district and the payment of a fee of $10. Victoria, American prospectors must obtain a Free Miner's Certificate before staking any lode claims in| British Columbia. These may be| obtained either from the Gold Com- | missioner at Atlin or at Prince Rupert, and are available to any, person over 18 years of age and any joint stock company. To quote the Government pamphlet: “The fee for individuals is $5 for one year and the fee for stock companies is from $50 to $100 de- pending on the capitalization of the company. certificate for any part of a year for a proportional amount. Certi- ficates secured now will be good until May 31, 1930 at midnight. “Free miners can only hold one mineral claim each on the same vein or lode, but may acquire others by purchase. They may lo- viding they also hold miner's cer- tificates.” “It is my understanding that free miners can locate other claims on other lodes. I have written to Victoria to find out whether it is necessary for a prospector to have power of attorney before locating claims for others, and should have a reply soon,” Mr. Stewart said. “A mineral lode claim in British Columbia is a piece of property, not exceeding 1500 feet square. United States, the British Columbia law provides that the rights term- inate at the bounds of the prop- erty, and a vein cannot be fol- One can obtain a; cate other claims for others, pro-| “Unlike the mining law in the; Assessment Work “Yearly assessments must be re- corded before the expiration of the year, or the claim is deemed aban- doned.

If during any year, work is done to a greater extent than the required $100, ahy further sum of $100, but not less, may be recorded and counted as further assessment work. Such ex- cess work must be recorded during the year in which it is performed. “As soon as assessment work to the extent of $500 is recorded, and a survey made of the claim, the owner of a mineral’claim is en-! titled to a Crown Grant, on the! payment of a fee of $25, and giv-| ing the necesary notices required. “Liberal provisions are also made for providing mill sites and other| facilities, in the way of tunnels and drains for the better working of the claims. Co-Ownerships and Partnerships “Provision is made for the forma- | tion of mining partnerships, both of a general and limited lability character. These are extremely taken advantage of and have prov- ed very satisfactory in their work- ing. Should a co-owner fail or| refuse to contribute his proportion : of the expenditure required as-as- sessment work on a claim, he may be ‘Advertisced Out,’ and his inter- est in the claim shall be vested in his co-owners who have made the| required expenditure, pro rata, ac- cording to their former interests.!| It should not be forgotten that if 4any co-owner permits his free min<i er's certificateto lapse, the title ' |of his associates is not prejudiced, but his interest reverts to the re- maining co-owners.” | - ee—— | i l i i | | Fire Chief Frank Jaynes of Ro- chester, N.

Hard- ing granted a petition of the In- dians of that village for the right to incorporate into a municipal cor- poration of the first class. This is the first time in the history of Alaska that an Indian community has undertaken to fully organize a municipal government. Under the provisions of Judge Harding’s order, only the Indian portion of the settlement will be incorporated, a cannery and a few white residents with property on a small island not being included. Klawock, like many of the Indian settlements in Southeastern Alaska, has been operating under a special Territorial statute as a municipal- ity of limited powers. The late Alaska Legislature repealed this statute and left the way open for such communities to incorporate under the general municipal code of Alaska. Klawock is the first to avail itself of this opportunity. A special election will be held at Klawock early this Fall to de- termine if the town shall proceed with the incorporation authorized. At the same time, if it is so de- sired, the residents can elect its | City Council and other officers, frrr oo Look Out Don’t have our H. Q. Z.
