30 U.S.C. § 28 — Mining district regulations by miners: location, recordation, and amount of work; marking of location on ground; records; annual labor or improvements on claims pending issue of patent; co-owner’s succession in interest upon delinquency in contributing proportion of expenditures; tunnel as lode expenditure

The miners of each mining district may make regulations not in conflict with the laws of the United States, or with the laws of the State or Territory in which the district is situated, governing the location, manner of recording, amount of work necessary to hold possession of a mining claim, subject to the following requirements: The location must be distinctly marked on the ground so that its boundaries can be readily traced. All records of mining claims made after May 10, 1872, shall contain the name or names of the locators, the date of the location, and such a description of the claim or claims located by reference to some natural object or permanent monument as will identify the claim. On each claim located after the 10th day of May 1872, that is granted a waiver under [section 28f of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title30-section28f&num=0&edition=prelim), and until a patent has been issued therefor, not less than $100 worth of labor shall be performed or improvements made during each year. On all claims located prior to the 10th day of May 1872, $10 worth of labor shall be performed or improvements made each year, for each one hundred feet in length along the vein until a patent has been issued therefor; but where such claims are held in common, such expenditure may be made upon any one claim; and upon a failure to comply with these conditions, the claim or mine upon which such failure occurred shall be open to relocation in the same manner as if no location of the same had ever been made, provided that the original locators, their heirs, assigns, or legal representatives, have not resumed work upon the claim after failure and before such location. Upon the failure of any one of several coowners to contribute his proporti

Page 14 TITLE 30—MINERAL LANDS AND MINING § 28h 1 See References in Text note below. § 28h. Co-ownership The co-ownership provisions of the Mining Law of 1872 (30 U.S.C. 28) 1 shall remain in effect, except that in applying such provisions, the an- nual claim maintenance fee required under this Act shall, where applicable, replace applicable assessment requirements and expenditures. (Pub. L. 103–66, title X, § 10103, Aug. 10, 1993, 107 Stat. 406.) Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT The Mining Law of 1872 (30 U.S.C. 28), referred to in text, probably means act May 10, 1872, ch. 152, 17 Stat. 91. That act was incorporated into the Revised Statutes as R.S. §§ 2319 to 2328, 2331, 2333 to 2337, and 2344, which are classified to sections 22 to 24, 26 to 28, 29, 30, 33 to 35, 37, 39 to 42, and 47 of this title. For complete classi- fication of R.S. §§ 2319 to 2328, 2331, 2333 to 2337, and 2344 to the Code, see Tables. This Act, referred to in text, is Pub. L. 103–66, Aug. 10, 1993, 107 Stat. 312, known as the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The annual claim mainte- nance fee required under this Act probably refers to the fee required under section 28f of this title. For com- plete classification of this Act to the Code, see Tables. Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries SIMILAR PROVISIONS Similar provisions were contained in Pub. L. 102–381, title I, Oct. 5, 1992, 106 Stat. 1378, 1379. § 28i. Failure to pay Failure to pay the claim maintenance fee or the location fee as required by sections 28f to 28l of this title shall conclusively constitute a for- feiture of the unpatented mining claim, mill or tunnel site by the claimant and the claim shall be deemed null and void by operation of law.
