Mining Location Rules and Annual Labor Standards
A 19th century inquiry to the General Land Office clarifies mining location validity and the annual labor requirement. It states that discovery work in the discovery year counts, but annual labor must be fulfilled in subsequent years if a patent is not yet granted, with $100 yearly minimum and the claimant completing the annual work by December 31 each year. Travel and recording expenses are excluded from the patent cost calculation.
