Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a work on Mining Law in this important re-issue of G.W. Miller's "Mining Law in Practice" is a guide to Mining Rights and Correct Methods of Locating, Holding and Acquiring Patents to United States Mineral Lands. Unavailable since 1907, this publication offers rare insights into the 1872 General Mining Law and how to locate, maintain and patent mining claims. Also included are many general insights into mining. Lavishly illustrated, this is one of the most concise guides to American Mining Law and mining claim ownership. Highly recommended to those interested in mining and mining claim ownership. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
