[[Page 141]]



section 10 of the Act of May 14, 1898, by the occupation of vacant and 

unreserved public land in Alaska for the purposes of trade, manufacture, 

or other productive industry, must file notice of the claim for 

recordation in the proper office for the district in which the land is 

situated, within 90 days after such initiation. Where on April 29, 1950, 

such a claim was held by a qualified person, association, or 

corporation, the claimant must file notice of the claim in the proper 

office, within 90 days from that date.

    (b) Form of notice. The notice must be filed on a form approved by 

the Director in triplicate if the land is unsurveyed, or in duplicate if 

surveyed, and shall contain:

    (1) The name and address of the claimant, (2) age and citizenship, 

(3) date of occupancy, and (4) the description of the land by legal 

subdivisions, section, township and range, if surveyed, or, if 

unsurveyed, by metes and bounds with reference to some natural object or 

permanent monument, giving, if desired, the approximate latitude and 

longitude. The notice must designate the kind of trade, manufacture, or 

other productive industry in connection with which the site is 

maintained or desired.

    (c) Failure to file notice. Unless a notice of the claim is filed 

within the time prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section no credit 

shall be given for occupancy of the site prior to filing of notice in 

the proper office, or application to purchase, whichever is earlier.

    (d) Recording fee. The notice of the claim must be accompanied by a 

remittance of $10.00, which will be earned and applied as a service 

charge for recording the notice, and will not be returnable, except in 

cases where the notice is not acceptable to the proper office for 

recording, because the land is not subject to the form of disposition 

specified in the notice.
