Outline for Preliminary Report on Mineral Claims 101 



made on such land in good faith. The claim may be much 

 more valuable for timber, agricultural purposes, or water rights 

 than it is for mineral, and if so the examiner's report should 

 be detailed, explicit and comprehensive on this point. 



XIV. MAPS AND DRAWINGS 



Either detailed or sketch maps should be submitted with 

 report, showing boundaries of claim; topography; location of 

 prospects, shafts or tunnels ; discovery point ; course of vein ; 

 vein ; bed or lode ; location of buildings, roads, ditches, flumes, 

 sluices, pipe lines and other improvements. The map should 

 show the relative location of each claim, and the relation of 

 the general development of the field to the particular claim in 

 question. In addition to a map of the underground workings 

 a cross, longitudinal and columnar sections of the coal bed or 

 ore body should be made. 



XIV. PHOTOGRAPHS 



Where possible, photograph coal beds and ore bodies. 

 Photograph types of topography on claim and all improve- 

 ments. A photograph attached to a report, showing claim 

 located in an area of igneous rocks barren of soil and vegeta- 

 tion is also evidence of good faith on the part of the claimant, 

 since it is evident that it was not filed upon for the timber it 

 contains or for agricultural purposes. 



XV. DEVLOPMENT WORK AND IMPROVEMENTS 

 State the amount, character, and approximate date of 

 development work. Describe all improvements in detail, being 

 careful to give the exact size and location of buildings and use 

 of sa,me. The amount and kind of machinery. Location and 

 dimensions of ditches, canals, flumes or other water conduits. 



Give your estimate of the original cost of all improve- 

 ments and development work, such as buildings, mining ma- 

 chinery, conduits, timbering, excavations, trails and roads. 

 Give your estimate of the present value of all improvements. 

 Give also estimates made by claimants. 



XVI. TIMBER 



State the amount and kind of timber on claim. If any 

 timber has been cut on claim, give amount, by whom cut, and if 

 used on the claim state for what purpose. As a matter of 

 opinion state whether you believe the claim is more valuable 

 for the timber it contains than the coal or ore for which it is 

 being exploited.
