Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 and Title 43 U.S.C. Section 1212 make it a crime for any person knowingly and willfully to make any department or
agency of the United States any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or representations as to any matter within its jurisdiction.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. This application is made under the provision of section 2325 of the
Revised Statutes, (30 U.S.C. 29), and the implementing regulations
(43 CFR 3861.1).
2. Applications must be typed or printed plainly in ink and subbmitted to
the State Director, Bureau of Land Management, having authority to
issue survey orders in that State as follows: Alaska, Anchorage;
Arizona, Phoenix; Arkansas and New Mexico, Santa Fe; California,
Sacramento; Colorado, Denver; North and South Dakota and
Montana, Billings; Nebraska, Kansas, and Wyoming, Cheyenne;
Idaho, Bosie; Nevada, Reno; Washington and Oregon, Portland; Utah,
Salt Lake City; all other States, Director, Bureau of Land Management,

conflict or adjoining; locations joinging at a single corner are not
considered as contiguous.
6. A millsite may be applied for separately or in conjunction with the
survey of a mining claim. Millsites must be located on nonmineral
ground, may not embrace more than five acres in compact form, and
must be occupied or used in connection with mining activity.
7. Any change in the application for survey, including the addition or
exclusion of locations, or the designation of a different mineral
surveyor, requires an amended application which will be the basis for
issuance of an amended survey order.

3. Name the claimant (individual, partnership, company or corporation)
should appear on the application in the same manner as it will appear
in the patent when issued. The application must be signed by the
claimant or an authorized agent.

8. The claimant is required, in all cases, to select the mineral surveyor to
execute the survey from the Bureau of Land Management register of
mineral surveyors and to make satisfactory settlement arrangements for
payment for his services. The United States will not be responsible
for the settlement.

4. Two copies of the record of the location certificate must be filed with
the application, one of which must be certified by the custodian of
the records where mining claims are recorded, usually the Clerk of the
County in which the claim is located. Each certificate must contain
the name of the locator, date of location, point of discovery, and such
definite description of the claim by reference to natural objects or
permanent monuments as will serve to identify the claim on the
ground. If a location certificate has been amended and the survey is to
be based on the amended location, two copies of the latest amended
certficate are required with the application for survey, one of which
must be certified.

9. A minimum deposit of $750 for the first location, plus $300 for each
additional location or millsite to cover the cost of office expense, must
be made with the Bureau of Land Management before an order for the
survey will be issued. In accordance with CFR 43 Section 3861.6-1,
each State Office may require a deposit that is sufiicient to cover their
estimate of each order for survey. If this deposit is insufficient to cover
the actual cost of office work, the claimant will be billed for an
additional sum sufficient to cover the actual cost of drafting and other
office work in connection with processing the returns of the mineral
surveys. If the deposit is more than the actual cost, a refund will be
made to the claimant.

5. Applicants are requested to list in one application the contiguous
locations constituting the claim for which an official survey is desired.
Several locations may be embraced in as single survey only when they
are contiguous, by which is meant locations that are actually in

10. Mineral surveyors are precluded from acting, either directly or
indirectly, as agents or attorneys in proceedings to obtain patent for
mining claims. Interested parties are precluded from working on
mineral surveys as chainmen or field assistants.
