There are several different ways I can present this topic. What I would like to know, if you want examples, such as a Bill of Sale, a Location Notice, to a set of Laws that the miners approved (fairly universal from all the counties I researched) when a mining district was established. Also, if there are those who have researched mining claims in county records on the list, I would like to have your comments on your experiences and possibly collaborate or at least be able incorporate the same prior to posting to provide a comprehensive understanding of these records. After all, I can base my experience on this topic, of research in fourteen counties. Oh, we can leave it open for discussion after I post the same. Tim Purdy Susanville, CA
