recorder, containing name of claim, name of locator(s), date of
location, number of acres or feet claimed and description referenced to
natural object or permanent monument.
=Mill Sites=: Mill sites are simply auxiliary to the working of mineral
claims and the location for a mill site should be made in substantially
the same manner as that of a lode or placer claim. There must be
satisfactory proof that land claimed as a mill site is not mineral in
character. No assessment work is required on mill sites but without
patent they can only be held by using them for the purposes for which
they were located.

termination with names of interested parties.

_Relocation_ (Amended and Additional) by owner, and relocation of
abandoned claims provided for.

not been previously located but if located, abandoned or defective.
