Regulations On Assessment Work For Mining Claims
The text explains assessment work required to protect a mining claim from forfeiture by performing $100 of labor. Beneficiary rules vary: owner who does work or pays benefits, a bondee or leaser also benefits, but a lien holder may force ownership if labor is unpaid. Notices, verbal or written, can shield the owner. California law treats bond recording as notice. Part owners may protect their interest with a notice.
