SEC. 2. Section 3101 of the Revised Statutes of Idaho be amended to read as follows:

Section 3101. The locator, at the time of making the discovery of such vein or lode, must erect a monument at such place of discovery, upon which he must place his name, the name of the claim, the date of discovery and distance claimed along the vein each way from such monument. Within three days from the date of discovery, he must mark the boundaries of his claim by establishing at each corner thereof and at any angle in the side lines, a monument, marked with the name of the claim and the corner or angle it represents; also at the time of so marking his boundaries, he must post at his discovery monument his notice of location in which must be stated: First, the name of the locator; second, the name of the claim; third, the date of discovery; fourth, the direction and distance claimed along the ledge from the discovery; fifth, the distance claimed on each side of the middle of the ledge; sixth, the distance and direction from the discovery monument to such natural object or permanent monument, if any such there be, as will fix and describe in the notice itself, the location of the claim; and seventh, the name of the mining district, county and State. When, from any cause, a monument can not be safely planted at the true corner or angle, it may be placed as near thereto as practicable, and so marked as to indicate the place of such corner or angle. Monuments may be made of any such material or form as will readily give notice, and when of posts or trees, they must be hewn or marked upon the side facing towards the discovery, and must be at least four inches square or in diameter.

Monuments must be at least four feet high above the ground, and trees must be so hewn as to readily attract attention. At the time the locator so marks the boundaries of his claim, he may do so in any direction that will not interfere with rights or claims which existed prior to his discovery.

SEC. 3. Within sixty days after such location, the locator or his assigns, must sink a shaft upon the lode to the depth of at least ten feet from the lowest part of the rim of such shaft at the surface. And of not less than sixteen square feet area. Any excavation which shall cut such vein ten feet from the lowest part of the rim of such shaft and which shall measure one hundred and sixty cubic feet in extent shall be considered a compliance with this provision. Any located claim upon which work has been done in compliance with the above requirements is not, unless abandoned, subject to relocation for a period of ninety days from and after the date of location.

SEC. 4. Within ninety days after the location of the claim the locator or his assigns must file for record in the office of the county recorder of the county or of the deputy recorder of the mining district in which the claim is situated, a substantial copy of his notice of location.

SEC. 5. If at any time the locator of any mining claim heretofore or hereafter located, or his assigns, shall apprehend that his original certificate was defective, erroneous, or that the requirements of the law had not been complied with before filing, or shall be desirous of changing the surface boundaries, or of taking any part of an overlapping claim which has been abandoned, or in case the original certificate was made prior to the passage of this law, and he shall be desirous of securing the benefits of this Act, such locator or his assigns, may file an additional certificate subject to the conditions of this Act and to contain all that this Act required an original certificate to contain: Provided, That such amended location does not interfere with the existing rights of others at the time when such amendment is made.

SEC. 7. The location of abandoned claims shall be done in the same manner as if the location were of a new claim; but the locator may, instead of sinking a new discovery shaft, sink the original discovery shaft ten feet deeper than it was at the time of his location, or he may drive the open cut, or tunnel ten feet further along the course of the lead, lode or vein, and must erect new posts or monuments.

SEC. 8. No location notice shall claim more than one location, whether the location is made by one or several locators, and if it purport to claim more than one location it is absolutely void.

SEC. 10. When the right to mine is in any case separate from the ownership or right of occupancy of the surface ground, the owners or rightful occupants of the surface ground may demand satisfactory security from the miners, and if it be refused or not given, may enjoin such miners from working such ground until such security is given.

Within fifteen days after making the location, the locator must make an excavation upon the claim of not less than one hundred cubic feet, for the purpose of prospecting the same. Within thirty days after the location, the locator must file for record in the office of the county recorder of the county, or of the deputy recorder of the mining district in which the claim is situated, a sub

EXTENDING THE TIME OF REDEMPTION OF REAL ESTATE SOLD UNDER EXECUTION OR FORE

CLOSURE, AMENDING SECTIONS 4492, AND 4493 OF THE REVISED STATUTES OF IDAHO.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

SECTION 1. Section 4492 and 4493 of the Revised Statutes are hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 4492. The judgment debtor or redemptioner may redeem the property from the purchaser within one year after the sale, on paying the purchaser the amount of his purchase with ten per cent. thereon in addition, together with the amount of any assessment or taxes which the purchaser may have paid thereon after the purchase, and interest on such amount; and, if the purchaser be also a creditor having a prior lien to that of the redemptioner, other than the judgment under which such purchase was made the amount of such lien with interest.

Section 4493. If property be so redeemed by a redemptioner, another redemptioner may, within sixty days after the last redemption and within one year after the sale, again redeem it from the last redemptioner on paying the sum paid on such last redemption with four per cent. thereon in addition, and the amount of any assessment or taxes which the last redemptioner may have paid thereon, after the redemption by him with interest on such amount, and in addition the amount of any liens held by said last redemptioner prior to his own, with interest; but the judgment under which the property was sold need not be so paid as a lien.

The property may be again, and as often as a redemptioner is so disposed, redeemed from any previous redemptioner, within sixty days after the last redemption and within one year after the sale, on paying the sum paid on the last previous redemption with four per cent. thereon in addition and the amount of any assessments or taxes which the last previous redemptioner paid after the redemption by him, with interest thereon, and the amount of any liens, other than the judgment under which the property was sold, held by the last redemptioner previous to his own, with interest.

Written notice of redemption must be given to the sheriff, and a duplicate filed for record with the recorder of the county; and, if any taxes or assessments are paid by the redemptioner, or, if he has or acquires any lien other than that upon which the redemption was made, notice thereof must in like manner be given to the sheriff and filed with the recorder, and if such notice be not filed, the property may be redeemed without paying such tax, assessment or lien.

If no redemption be made within one year after the sale, the purchaser, or his assignee, is entitled to a conveyance; or, if so redeemed, whenever sixty days have elapsed and no other redemption has been made, and notice thereon given, the time for redemption by a redemptioner has expired, and the last redemptioner or his assignee, is entitled to a sheriff's deed at the expiration of one year after the sale; but in all cases the judgment debtor shall have the entire period of one year from the date of the sale to redeem the property.

If the judgment debtor redeem, he must make the same payments as are required to effect a redemption by a redemptioner.

If a debtor redeem, the effect of the sale is terminated and he is restored to his estate.
