Scope and Content

Early Clifton Mining District recorders kept file books in which they summarized and referenced location notices they recorded. The original file book is in table format and includes the name of the mine, date of location, date of filing, name of locating company or individual, number of feet claimed, page number where recorded, and a notation about work done. In 1884 the format was simplified to include only the name of the mine, the names of locators, the date located, and the book and page number where a notice of location was recorded. Entries made after 1889 include only the mine name, the date, and reference information.
