FOREWORD
Questions pertaining to the initiation and maintenance of rights
in mining claims, and to various rules and regulations governing prospecting and mining operations are constantly directed to the Division
of Mines. Manner of locating and holding mineral claims in California,
revised and reprinted nine times since its initial publication in 1931, has
proved helpful in answering many, but not all of these questions. To
partially meet the deficiency, this report has been assembled to include in
addition to a revised edition of the forementioned publication, sections
that discuss other regulations affecting mining, and which experience
has shown are most frequently dealt with by the Information Section
of the Division.
The general information presented is intended only as a guide. A
comprehensive summary of mining statutes and related court decisions
will be found in Division of Mines Bulletin 123, American Mining Law,
by A. H. Ricketts. Application of the general information herein to
specific legal problems should be referred to an attorney, since the
Division of Mines does not maintain a legal counsellor on its staff.
