Modern air transportation, | too, is playing its part in making | heretofore practically inaccessible | areas availabie to the prospector. | Locating The law, briefly, requires the dis- | (u\m\ of a vein or lode in plflcu! | prior to locating a lode claim, the| discovery of mineral within its bmdvxs before locating a placer Ll‘lm\ The dimensions of a lode | claim are 1500 feet by 600 feet, | and there is no limit to the number of lode claims that may be lo-| cated. Placer claims may be 1320 |feet by 660 feet. The limit on| placer claims is two per person | per calendar month. | Stewart also gives line of some of the noteworthy features of the various sections of Alaska.
