As before seen there is at present no State iaw requiring such notices to be recorded and their recordation is not necessary. If the dis- trict mining rules should require such notic to be recorded in the office of the County Re should be so recorded, and it would be the duty of the Recorder to recard it in the proper hooks, Hergtofore a great many of the min- ing districts in this State had rules requirin notices of location to be posted and recorde in_the office of the County Recorder. That such nolices, ‘when o recorded, might constitute a good and legal record of the pos- s ¢ claim seems to have been the object slature had in view in making pr ‘or their recordation. Such notices, ho . are mot required to be recorded with the junty Recorder In the absence of a district rule or custom requiring the same. But when there is a district rule or custom requiring the notice to be recorded with the County Re- corder, then, as before seen, the Legislature, to, . made provision for thelr recordation. * ———— ELITE FRENCH CHINAWARE DAY.
