OSTI ID:6869778
This digest was compiled for the person who locates mining claims and the person who evaluates existing mining-claim locations for compliance with applicable laws. The Digest is limited to matters that directly affect the location and maintenance of unpatented mining claims, and does not cover issues related to taxation, regulation of mines and mining, or legal relationships between mining claim owners. An introductory chapter on the law of mining claims is followed by a chapter on Federal Mining Claim Laws (with comments). Some state mining claims laws with comments (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming) are discussed in Chapter III. Chapter IV includes some common mining claims forms. (MCW)
