§49d Miners’ Regulations for Recording Notices in Alaska; Certain Records Legalized

Summary

Miners in organized mining districts may make rules about how to record notices for claims, water rights, flumes and ditches, mill sites, and proof of labor, as long as those rules follow this Act and U.S. law. A district not in a court recording area may elect its own mining recorder until a court names one. Records made in good faith before June 6, 1900—including U.S. commissioner records at Dyea and Skagway and the Douglas City recorder—are declared valid and are public, so long as they do not conflict with records made by the U.S. commissioner at Juneau.
